Elegance coral show off thread

[fasteddie99]

Beautiful and very elegant corals yawl have.:beer:



It simply looks like an actinic shot to me. Maybe T5's with a little red in them. I don't think the pic was overly photoshopped.

If thats the case then wow! Very nice

Here's a mini elegance coral I got at Bay Mac few weeks back. Vendor told me the diver never seen one this small in twenty years. Dunno if it was a sales tactic. LMK if you seen one smaller. It's about a quarter size.

Pictured with my Blotchy Anthias and Acan. My Blotchy is a monster in size.

Picture taken with my camera phone a Storm. Slight sharpness, and contrast adjustments.

Does that look like a rock flower anemone to anyone else?

:lol: Now that you mention it, it sure does. It's not a flower anemone (E. crucifer) though. It's an Elegance.

Yeah, the tentacle tips give it away. But thanks to my son's two flower anemones, that was where my mind first jumped when I saw the pic.

Just a pic I thought was kinda cool. The goby hardly ever leaves the elegance.

Here is frags of my elegance corals, all those baby was fraged from my Elegance, she/he is old aprox 10-12 years, thise picture are from 2007, last year I fraged more and so far I cultivate aprox 15-20 catalaphyllia, they are extremly hard (talking about my cultivated elegance, not about elegance freshly imported ) now the baby are grown again and very big. My main coral was very big until he did not drop from my motocycle when I transfered him to new aquarium, then I decide to frag him more and continuosly frag him every year or two.

BTW I forgot to ad that I have few baby who was drop from main coral somewhere 2003-2004, that was my first raised elegance. Will try to find those pictures.

It big! Probably 12-14" fully extended. Had to cut back on the feeding. Setting up a new system so it should have some room

These elegance corals are beautiful! I backed out of an order because I read some posts with some people having them die within 2 weeks of adding them to my tank or them dying within a few months. I didn't want that to happen to me. Also read that the aussie elegance are better than the indo but also you have to pay 2x as much more for the aussie.
