Be sure and pickup a nice Aussie elegance coral. They're one of my favorite corals but I can't keep them in my present setup.

I had a beautiful elegance back in Dallas in the early '90s. The base was about 5" long, but expanded it was about 14" or so. It was under 10k 175 W MH and placed on the rock. My present problem is I have no room for anything that expands to that size and probably waaaaay too much flow.

I killed a nice one in the 90's back in my skillter day's along with everything else
