I was looking through my photobucket and came across some pics of few corals that I truly loved, but lost the em for some reason or another. I would love to see any corals that you really liked and lost. Let me start by posting a couple of mine.

here's two that I had that still make me somewhat depressed when I think about 'em...
I haven't loss too many corals over the years but these two are probably on top of the list...

And this was my first real SPS loss. I had grown this out from a frag 
I just have one tiny frag left
Here is another attempt of me trying to grow it out

I know, I can actually see new growth every couple of days A lot of those corals, I just chopped off the bases or just kept a frag. That whole episode taught me how silly I am sometimes about this hobby

I bleed orange and maroon
OH GEEZ.......where do I begin? Sad thing is, I've been in the hobby for 4-5 years, and ALL of these losses have come in the last year. Its so frustrating.....
lost this guy about a week ago.....had him for 2 years.
these got taken over by dictoya algae and faded away....i think these were my favorite palys.
while this wasn't mine, my LFS lost this granulosa when they moved their show tank to a new store. quite possibly the most awesome acro i have ever seen, the camera did not catch the glow and florescence that came off this coral.
ORA Purple Pillow.......first off, the colony I got my frag from was lost when its tank changed locations.
Here is my ORA purple pillow frag when I got it.
turned to a colony
and now my PP colony is all gone, and I only have a few frags left that are barely hanging on. On top of that, I've given out about a dozen frags of ORA PP over the last 2 years or so, and everyone except 2 people have had their frags die after about 6-8 months.

:cry: WOW what a depressing thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Came home from vacation to find this flipped over. Wasn't glued well enough I guess.
On the bright side I will get one back from a friend some day:bigsmile:
