I can't keep clove polops. Always melt away after about 2 weeks. Tried all types of flow lighting. You name it, I have tried it.
My fist tank was a 180 tried to get coralline to grow for two years. Now in my 125 coralline is the plage
 
Cleaner shrimps...... Have killed 2. Never again.
 
Goni's and Psammacora can't coexist in my tank. When one dies the other thrives usually based on tank nutrients.
 
Alveopora died for me twice and they are supposed to be far easier than goniopora which I have no problems with at all.
 
I can not keep mystic sunset monti.Other montis is doing fine
Mine doesn't like a lot of light so I put it on the bottom and it's growing fast and colorful so try a lower light area of the tank and slowly put in more moderate light. if it gets to much light it will bleach fast.I got mine from Jason fox at a show last year
 
Non-hermit crabs.

Emeralds, sally lightfoots, porcelain . . . vanish like ninja.

~Bruce, saddened . . .
My ornate wrasse grabs them and smashes them on rocks or the glass.
I grab a few emeralds every few weeks for my entertainment
 
Any kind of fern, oh and aloe plants always die on me. I'm pretty sure I'm overwatering. As far as reef stuff I have the old school brown and green with white stripes caulastrea that just stays shriveled up all the time. I couldn't kill that stuff 20 years ago.

Thank you for advice.I will try to put it in a lower light and pray for good
 
I agree with everybody that said bubble coral.
