Worst impulse purchase was a small Synapta maculata (sold as "Jersey sleeves"), which I was told would make a great scavenger. A little of bit of research made me realise that there was no way I could cater for a sea-cucumber that would reach the size of a boa constrictor. Fortunately I was able to return it.

Sea cucumbers deserve a (dis)honorable mention. Little bit of an anecdote here but; When a small time pet shop in my town started to sell salt water stuff & had up a display tank, I talked with one of the owners about it. Turns out one of the 3 owners had gone on a whim and wanted a salt water tank, but figured he might as well use it as a business opportunity so he put it in the store and the other 2 owners were on board despite not knowing much about it, since only one other shop in a 50km radius had salt water stuff. Had a sea cucumber in it because he insisted on it apparently, knowing the risks according to one of the other 2 owners I spoke to. Next time I swung by out of curiosity a few weeks later, the display tank was gone. Asked about it and turned out the sea cucumber got overly ambitious in it's exploratory manners and got itself stuck against the output flow, happened overnight & it kamikazed the entire tank. Sure they're silly little things and fun to look at sometimes but I don't think a living moving log that's filled with toxins & irritants is worth those small benefits.

Only one I disagree with is urchins. I think the Tuxedos, Variegated (Pincushion), and Rock urchins are all great and reef safe. I love my captive bred urchin, and I collected the rock urchins from Hawaii. I hardly ever see them, but they come out at night and are super hardy. If frags are stable then they usually never knock them over. I guess the one flaw is picking up frags (mine hasn’t, but one day he might)

I had a pencil urchin which literally took over my 55 gallon tank. That little urchin did everything from murder a bunch of flame scallops by moving a massive rock on his own (breaking all their backs), to drilling a hole into the shell of my baby horseshoe crab and eating it. It was adorable but was responsible for so much death........ Flame scallops are beautiful creatures - provided you don't have an urchin to murder them. Sea apples are beautiful creatures too - not sure they belong in a tank however.

Hermits aint an issue if you get Dwarf Blue Legs or Scarlet Reef Hermits. Use Banded Trochus snails instead of Turbos, Astrea ect... as when these fall Banded Trochus can re-right themselves instead of being easy pickings for a hungry hermit. Another trick with Hermits is to add some small snail shells to your tank for them to up grade to as they get bigger. Youll have a much better success rate and unlike other snails I have gotten Banded Trochus to lay eggs and reproduce regularly in my tanks the last 22 years. A lot of what you said about RBTA/BTA's is truer than not. I add them first to my tank before corals first of all. I also sculpt my rock work so that I have a couple of high points in my tank and various light intensity levels and flow. I then allow my RBTA to find its happy spot and they usually stay there pretty consistently about 95% of the time in a suitably aged tank. RBTA/BTA's will host 14 different species of Clownfish even if they dont normally in the wild. If you must get a Anemone choose the right anemone for your clownfish, and know this is for the more advanced hobbyist and not something for the beginner or someone new to the Hobby. If you clown doesnt want to host and you got the right anemone...tape a photo of a clown fish hosting in an anemone close to your anemone on the tank glass and the captive bred Clowns will usually figure it out pretty quick. I am so with you on the Urchin and the Lobster!!! They are usually a disaster waiting for a place to happen.

I'm going to have to disagree with the bta. Like with any other animal for a reef aquarium, you need to plan. For bta's it's best to introduce them while the tank is pretty empty. Try to find a spot they like and they shouldn't move as much. Use a power head protector to eliminate the risk of the nem turning into a milkshake. Make sure your corals are movable just in case it decides to take a hike. I really think bta's are gorgeous animals that just have a bad rep because of impulse buys and not planning ahead. Also urchins can be a pain but they are amazing clean up crew.

I have a 40 gallon anemone/softie tank. The solution to avoid BTAs being blended by a powerhead or wavemaker is pretty simple - I rely entirely on the return for flow. If I wanted to add a wavemaker, I would just choose one with an anemone guard. In my experience they just don’t need a large amount of flow. I would certainly think twice about having BTAs in a tank with valuable corals though. I don’t care if mine sting the fairly common softies I have. That said, that hasn’t happened yet, and there is a grand total of six BTAs in there!
