Pickiest SPS
What would you say some of the pickiest SPS are? I'd like to make my problem growers healthier/happier, so if you guys have had luck with some of the problem growers feel free to post what you're doing
 Also, add your own "picky" corals Here are mine:-superman digitata (growing, but slowly) -encrusting superman (this has recently started growing for me but it sat relatively dormant for quite a while) -purple monster (not doing jack) Some local reefer buddies of mine have found sunset monti to be difficult, whether it be not coloring up or not growing. Mine has always done well and has great color. In comparison from my friends' tanks and mine, I seem to have the dirtiest water.

I found the LE A. navini to be the most finicky, difficult coral for me to date. I have no probs with the encrusting montis or caps since I brought potassium levels up. I would agree with Purple Haze, A. hyacinthus seems to be quite difficult. I had a sweet red one that was growing well. I cut my first frag off of it and the next day I awoke to a white skeleton. I was in shock. I have never seen a corals do that. I have heard of it, just never witnessed it first hand. Once your superman monti gets going it will grow fast. I have a seemingly fast growing Purple monster. It seems to love the spot for flow and light and has done quite well. I have been surprised at how much it has grown.

My eflo stayed brown and no growth for a year in my sps 180 halide tank till I moved it to the wifes T5 120. In about 4 months it has turned purple and is getting larger.
