Most disappointing Livestock Purchase?

wow, interesting.

I have a purple tube anemone in my tank and it never eated any fish. I had 2 green mandarins as well and it does not toutch them. One of my mandarin was killed by a yellow tang (sold it after that) and my remaining mandarin female goes to eat beside the tube anemone and she's still there. It's pretty big as well, not sure what to do with it if it continue to grow like that. It's now the size of a soccer ballon.

I bought 3 berghia nudibranches.

Didn't drip acclimate them, just floated the bags for 20 mins with the lights off. Didn't bother to turn the pumps off when I dropped them in.

Within 1 second of hitting the water, all 3 caught a current directly to my jawfish's hole. He gobbled 2 before I could get my hand in there to scare him. If I recall correctly, his snacks were $20 per.

The 3rd one clung to a rock for 2 hours, then I never saw it again.

Only one to blame was me.

my case is a powder blue tang. he had ich and I didnt notice when I got it. next day, I noticed white tiny spot and he died about 3 weeks later with his new friends. he took most of my fishes. however, my corals are doing better than before, so maybe I should thank to PB tang.
