In my 175 gal. bowfront I have a Fiji leather about 6 in. away from my elegance coral. The Fiji looks like it has a bit of damage on the side facing the elegance. I'm not sure whether this is because of sweeper tentacles possibly coming from the elegance coral or if it was that way when I bought it from my LFS. I know that elegances have a reputation of being pretty aggressive. Anyone out there have any input????
do elegances have sweeper tentacles?!

elegance coral
They call me EC
Short answer, no.
Long answer, I have read in several places that they do, but they were wrong. I have kept Elegance corals for a very long time and have never seen a sweeper tentacle. You still may want to move your leather further away though because Elegance corals can expand to unbelievable sizes. Is the leather 6 in from the polup or the skeleton? 6 in from the fully expanded polup would be Ok for now, but if its 6 in from the skeleton you should move it.
