    The only fish I've had any real trouble with are wrasses, I had a sixline that eventually jumped. a flasher that jumped and then another flasher that died mysteriously.

    For me it would be the twin spot goby. I had three at different times and all three went belly up on me. I love the way the bob up and down, but will not try anymore.

    I've had troubles with flame angels and Potters angels. My flame angel just dropped dead one day, with 3 or 4 very large white spots on its side (definatly not crypt). I have a Potters angel now. It took me about a month to get it to accept food. Thats not uncommon though, even in the flow-through aquarium I work at we have issues with Potters.

    to actually answer your question, i have had trouble with a coral beauty thus far in reef-keeping. my clown is doing fine. the damsels did fine.

    a talbott damsel attacked and nipped at the fins pretty good on the coral beauty when i first acclimated it. i couldnt get the talbott nor the coral beauty back out in time before it tore a little chunk of fin off. well the coral beauty wound up getting some kind of fungal infection thereafter and died a few days later. i couldnt get my hospital tank up in time.

    did however rid myself of the evil damsels.... (we wont talk about the yellow-tail damsel thats found his way back into my DT)
