Copperband Butterfly. Not disappointment in the fish, it's such a beautiful critter, but disappointment in my stupidity for purchasing one prior to proper research. I know there are a good number of success stories with these, but if you look at the recent poll related to Copperbands, the statistics are a good indication that these guys are best left in the ocean. It was quite tough watching my specimen slowly starve to death.

My most disappointing experience, 2 beautiful elegance corals. One had pink tones, the other greens. Absolutely stunning specimens. Both did great in QT tank, so we put them in the 180g after a week and a half. Two to three weeks later the green one started to deteriorate, and unfortunately whatever it was seemed to be contagious because about 2 weeks later the same happened to the pink one. Not sure why it happened, we had not had any issues with any other corals. They just slowly deteriorated. Very upsetting experience, not to mention a little pricey.

My Mexican Look Down Fish $85.
I brought him home spent the afternoon acclimatizing him. Released him into the tank and my Queen Trigger came over and bit his eyes out. He ended up being nothing more than an expensive dinner. Oh ya everyone at the LFS told me that they should get along no problem. Tom R Last edited by Tom R; 08-16-2009 at 11:20 PM.

For me it would have to be a small clown goby and a small skunk cleanershrimp. I acclimatized both fish and dropped them in the clown goby found a spot to hide, saw him around a month or so later and haven't seen him since. The small cleaner shrimp was a little too small and my clowns and flame angel ate all of his legs before he even hit the ground
