Is there a coral that you can't seem to keep alive?

Currently, I'm having trouble growing digitata -go figure!!

Tbh I haven't had any digi in a long time, I have a fear of nudis so I won't add any more monti now that my Jedi mind trick and rainbow are growing good

I have orange digis, also growing well, but they do need a lot of light. When I found a neighboring SPS start shading one, that portion would die off.

I did try Zoas about a year ago, a couple times. But they all melted on me. Even moved them to a separate frag tank, but no luck. I took a frag back to the LFS (Paul's place) where it was examined for possible pests, but none found. So I have given up on them, for now.

+1. I always laugh silently when someone says "zoas are easy!". Or maybe its just me

And never had success with any euphyllia coral. Those damned thing wouldn't grow in my tank other than killing things around!

Zoos, digitata and pink poccilopora. Only cuz my dreaded clove polyps would smother them. Cloves have been gone for quite a while now and now things are doin great.

Fungia, Xenia, and Ricorida once flourished in my tank but in recent years just die slowly. I think its because its much cleaner now. I have relatively fewer fish and skim more heavily.

Hmmm, interesting,... mine is the opposite. I have a pink milli that is growing like crazy (had to prune off some frags a couple times), while I have powder blue milli that isn't doing anything. It just exists, and waves its fuzzy polyps, with hardly any growth. The only difference is they are on different sides of the tank, and the blue milli has a bit less light, and maybe flow is not quite as strong in that spot.
