Nothing.. besides monster snails bulldozing the frags that you keep picking up the sand every couple of days... and 1/2 them you don't find anymore once the fall behind the rock work then your sand sifters burry the living hell out of them to only be found months later dead...... Sorry had to vent as well....
I've lost countless frags from friends and trades... $$$$$$$$$$

Don't know who's to blame this time. I just found it though; it fell the right way up though the rock work and I could see it. I think I just pulled something while contorting my arm to get it out.... I can just about see pin-pricks of orange to contrast with the bright white of most of it. I guess it might recover... however, I doubt it; I don't have much luck with monitipora other than the capping type.

Having a small clam walk away from the rock you placed it on, forcing you to move rocks to track it down before it dies! (Well, ditto for frags, but frags don't often walk away!)
Having anemones walk round your tank killing a path behind it while is searches for the "ultimate anemone home" which ends up being on a pump and it gets itself mangled!
Buying $60 worth of berghia nudibranchs ... and finding small blobs in the container you were quarantining them in!
Buying some fish that you love, quarantining them for a few days, then finding the dreaded "dead fish stuck to pump input".
Dropping a plastic knife into your tank where it settles between some rocks at the bottom of your "rock wall" and having to leave it there for several years... then having people look at your tank and say "What's that? It almost looks like a plastic knife?!"

Dropping a razor blade in the back of your tank while cleaning of corraline algae and having to rip your rockwork apart to find it..... followed by trying to figure out how the heck you ever got your rockwork stacked the way it was
Waking up in the morning and finding your true percula clown stuck to the housing of your pump.
Oh and I will second the brown acro frag thing.
