Galaxea and Platygyra are the two problematic ones in my book.

I had a torch that could put out a 12" sweeper (that's 12" more then the normal length of the tentacles) and take out everything in it's path....including me. If I had kept it, I wouldn't be able to put anything else on the one side of my 175g tank
