Ugly corals not worth it, especially those that take up space. Problem is once they start growing I get attached and feel bad getting rid of it LOL

Personally, I won't add ugly chalices and aggressive merulinid corals - unless they're especially nice specimens, they take up too much room imo.

Be prepared for your tastes to change. I originally wanted a xenia-only tank - hence my minimal starting equipment. Make sure if you get an invasive coral, that you can remove it later should you feel the need

Discasoma mushrooms: I have defective candy crush mushrooms, only 1 or 30 will develop green lines. They multiply like crazy, detach, and spread around the tank. Injecting them with kalk only weakens them then I need to suck them out the next day. Tequila sunrises at least die after injecting

Mystic Sunset monti: I finally killed off mine by surrounding it with goniporas. I used to manage it by putting an epoxy barrier between it an other corals but I got too lazy to do it anymore.

This mf still shows up in different spots in my tank after abusing it and killing it over and over for the last 3 years. Pure reef cancer.
