What fish/coral/invert would you remove?

[MontanaRocknReefer]

I am sure alot of you reefers have put in a fish/coral/invert from time to time that you removed for one reason or another or maybe you have a fish/coral/invert now that you would like to remove. If you want to share!

I presently have a large female maroon clownfish that I would like to remove as this fish loves to really stir up the DSB. I am glad I have a deep one but this fish can have sand all over everything and I go turkey baster blasting from time to time! She is a beautiful female but she sure knows how to push my buttons!

We had to remove a 6" twinspot wrasse, as it was eating all our turbos and kept trying to bury my frags. It also decimated the sandbed fauna. It was a tough decision, but he found a new home.

We also had to remove the "Percula from Hell" several years ago... very territorial little thing - she killed more fish than her keepers did. (Tangs, cardinals, blennies... even her mate.) She's in a 10g nano at this point.

Don't they all???

I just had to remove and return a blue throat trigger as it was threatening to dig all the way to the plenum and it was wreaking havoc on some of my corals. Just not enough room for him to move around.

I actually don't mind my GSM clown digging. She/he/it stays in one area of the tank. I am getting some xenia at this months meeting. When my GSM hosted with the xenia it didn't fan the sand!?!? Go figure!

If I had to pick something to remove, it would be my huge 15"+ green brittle. I don't have any strange disappearances 'yet', but he gets fed very well too.

Or I would remove my aptasia, majano, hydroids, mantis... I am working on removal of these currently and stay ahead so far!

Hey Big Dave! Keep your large green brittle and I have one as well. Secret is to keep them well fed. Here's mine:
