Elegance coral show off thread

[elegance coral]

In my opinion, it depends on the health of the Elegance. An Elegance that has been in the hobby for several years without getting ill, will pack a serious punch. There's not much, outside of algae, that can survive within its reach. A new introduction or a sick Elegance will be very sensitive, and not fair very well when exposed to other corals.

This was mine that I use to have, it didn't last more than three months, it must have been collected from Indonesia.

A month after I put it in my 120g.

Once it started to deteriorate.

Same experiance here. Nothing can survive its sting!

It took my frospawn 2-3 days to open back up after it fell next to the elegance. The tentacles on the elegance were also shriveled up a bit so I would say that they don't sting any more than frogspawn just my experience.

Samething here. Mine will kill anything it touches. Except for my Linkia star. It seems immune. However my elegance actually stung and consumed a Strombus gigas. I was pretty amazed that it could catch such large prey. Now if I could only get it to eat the female Tomato clown that is hosting in it.

Any advice?

Isn't the bloating a sign of distress and death? I was worried about it for awhile. Only been 4-5 days. Problem I think is coming from LiveAq. and being in a bag for over 24 hours. It is an Aussie.

in the Elegance that Rickyrooz1 posted, is the bubbly tips a sign of an unhealthy Elegance?

 

[bosborn1]

FWIW mine gets the bubbly tips from time to time. The difference is that my oral discs never inflate. Not to mention when the halides are on the tentacles get about 6 inches long.

SCIFI_3D_zoo- Once they look like that I've never had one recover. Are you sure its an Aussie? I've noticed that many wholesalers are slapping the Aussie name on indo elegances just sell them at higher mark up.

 

[HKSTurbo28]

Mine display the bubbly tips even when the halides are on but the oral discs are not inflated, looks like a normal Elegance except the tentacles are not long and stringly, mostly bubbly with some short tentacles.

 

[SCIFI_3D_zoo]

Got it from Drs.FS. I trust them but maybe they were lied too? I just tossed it out today. I wasn't gonna let it die off in my water any more. I could start to see small pieces of tissue come off. The only thing I can think of is it got off to a really bad start with the 24+ hours shipping time.
