"Easy" Things You Can't Keep Alive

Captive bred Fang Blennies. I have tried twice with trios from LA. All dead. No aggressive tank mates or anything. They eat and then disappear.

Lobos, Zoas, hammers and torches. I assume the hammers and torches are due to 80x turnover. Who knows

You are getting 80x turnover rate through your sump? On a 300gallon tank!

very long list for me but the impressive short one is, GSP, xenia, birds nest sps, and any zoa.

No....the display, which is relevant in this thread because I believe the turbulence is ripping the corals off their skeletons (torch, hammer). I don't think anyone in this hobby gets 80x through a sump on a 300g display...they would need like 10 return pumps and one heck of a drain system not to mention a skimmer bigger than Kim Jong Un's favorite missile silo.

Easy stuff: yellow tangs. Can’t get them through qt

Diamond Goby: always find a way to jump out. I think they are smarter than me.
