It's all good I'm tired of seeing all these Elegance corals collected just to die in someones tank. I wish they would stop importing these corals from Indonesia all together. I have a system set up just for these Indonesian Elegance corals and it still takes me 2 or 3 years to get one healthy. I can buy an Aussie and it will be healthy from day one. Why would anyone buy an Indonesian Elegance?

Here's a few more pics of mine.

My wife's tank. Don't look at the cyno . She thinks the fish will starve if there isn't food floating around in the tank for 30 minutes a day.
These are Aussie

This is an Indo.

Why would anyone want to buy an Indo when they can get an Aussie?

hey elegance---how is my elegance doing since the last time I posted--waiting to hear from the mentor:smokin:

:lol: It looks good and healthy. It would open up much more if you could turn the flow down a bit in its area, though. They really don't need much in the way of flow. If you are able, try it for a few days and post another pic. It would be neat to see a before and after pic.

how do you tell if an elegance is indo or aussie?

Here is an elegance I had about 5 years ago. It was the size of a football. I got it with alot of other coral when I bought a local reefers tank form him. I lost this beautiful coral when I was on vacation. The pictures do not do it justice.

I turned mine about 90 degress to the left to move it to a more appropriate position. I've known about the little growth of the side, and I'm after some opinions.

Will this piece detach naturally, or will it have to be fragged?

The photo was taken after the lights went out, and the shell was not broken off the edge of the main piece. I've had this coral for over 6 months, and it has grown in that time.

thanks

will probably need to be fragged, or maybe just elevated on that side so that gravity can encourage it to pull of on its own.

Wow thats some cool stuff keep posting

 

[Freed]

Anyone lose any fish to an elegance before?

 

[elegance coral]

I personally haven't, but I have seen a shallow display tank full of Elegance corals and probably 100 or more small fish. There were fish skulls in the sand around the Elegance corals. In this case I just don't think there was enough room for the fish to avoid the tentacles.

I will have to try elevating it. I would like to see if nature takes it's course. Thanks for responding,

Cheers

Hello .. here is my elegance coral...sorry about the bad pics. The coral is ca 50cm x 30cm x 30cm. This is offcourse my favorite corall...no doubt. As you can see..my Bangai fishes loves to roam in it

This is a (bad) shot from above..The coral uses all the aquariumspace when fully open...ca 50cm. I will need to rearange my rockwork soon.

The tank is 320 liters and the coral covers 1/4 of it.
