Some would say 6-line-wrasse... I have one with no issues no fights, except he bullied and probably killed my new Mystery Wrasse!

But... My most recent regrettable purchases: Blue Tuxedo Urchin...
I like the guy... He has amazing grazing power... He's an unstoppable Lawnmower... BUT he also goes into the Rose Bushes and destroys those as well...
How many of you found your newest expensive frag stuck on the stupid tuxedo urchin, as if he was wearing it as General wearing his medals!
Well happened to me... He was picking my expensive frags right from the frag shelves or Even from the Rock! Stripped Zoas and Cloves from rocks and wore them as badges of honor!
He even shredded a $600 frag to bits! I was so angry with him that I almost thought of eating him "Uni style"!
Moral of the story... resist the temptation of buying one... They are $20 creatures that will cause you Thousands in damage!

He's "Sumped" for now!
 
I feel you on the urchin, we bought one once before we knew better. Hard to believe something like that could be such a menace, but it was!
 
Purchase regrets, no real livestock regrets. As far as dry goods and equipment, my Sulfur Denitrator, dumped nitrites in my tank and killed several corals including my Homewrecker, UGH!!!

Ugh! We refinished floors once and that toasted one of my tanks.
 
Absolutely an urchin. Had him in our last tank. He was cool, great part of the CUC, but he sucked. He picked up frags and wore them like Julia Robert's on Rodeo Drive. Never again.
