Have you ever had that feeling when you look at a coral or a fish and have that thought of ' why would people ever want to buy that piece of crap ? ' ?

I'm sure everyone has that least favored kind of reef inhabitants, but people seems to love them.

Mine is Clam; I can't understand why people would want to form a clam garden; let alone a clam garden, I wouldn't even want to buy 1.

What's yours?

Remember there is no right or wrong answer; everyone is entitled to their opinion.

You can add more options as we go and of course, you can pick more than 1 answer.
 
I can't think of any livestock I wouldn't want, but some design choices boggle my mind. A dramatic example is bare bottom tanks; just, why?
 
GSP for me. I know we all have our likes and dislikes but I could never put that in my tank
 
I voted shrooms. Don’t get me wrong I don’t necessarily hate them but I can’t wrap my brain around the prices they cost now. I remember when you could get a big rock with 20 or more shrooms for $15, now the ugly ones go for $10 a piece and nice ones are $$$.
I actually like GSP and Xenia but only for my refugium never in my display. They add a nice touch and are quite good at nutrient export.
 
Unfortunately no. The only thing on your list I've never owned is a Christmas tree worm, now I feel like I should try one. I'm not overly keen on urchins but I've found use for a long spine in the past.

There are some corals and fish I'm not crazy about but if I could have 10+ tanks I'd have all kinds of different dominated speciality tanks.
 
Xenia, GSP, clove polyps, leathers, wavy LPS like euphyllia, but not duncans for some reason, mushrooms, but not ricordia... No idea why people like those things.

I'm more of a acan, lobo, trachy, scoly for LPS. Birds nest, montipora, stylophora for SPS. And I like zoas, but not so much palys.
