+1 I don't even want to think about how much $ I have actually spent in this hobby.

A small frag of brown zoas (I think it was about $10) fairly cheep but ugly as hell, spreads like weeds, can be rather toxic to touch if you're not careful and no matter what you do they will not die!

Christy and I must shop at the same store in Victoria.

I bought a rock with "super rare" blue mushrooms with irridescent blue dots.
$150.. came home from work the next day and they were literally oozing off of the rock. I saved one, which since it IS pretty has only split once in a year. I have named it the OneFiddy.

I think the worst tho was shortly after I started my first tank I was sold a basket-feather starfish, and assured it would do just fine and was an easy keeper. I brought it home and it was sooo pretty.. Then it's legs started slowly falling off over the course of a few weeks.. Pretty disheartening.

$5 green Ricordia in my sps tank. It went everywhere, and it was vicious!
