atrox,
How is your EC. Since he was only in your tank for 4 hrs in the previous picture, I hope he will improve once he settle in. If I see him like that at the LFS, I would not buy him.
 
Ive kept a large elegance in the past successfully oddly enough in a tank that I neglected as I had met my now wife and kept my tank in my rented house that I didnt stay in for 7 months it had high nitrates phosphates and loads of algae and t5s.

I've just got another this weekend that didnt look so great in the shop but will hopefully improve in my tank which is properly looked after unlie the above mentioned one.

Anyway they are my favourite corals and if this grows it will be my centre piece
 
Here is mine today. Move him to an area he like a lot better, lower light and gentle flow.

Beautiful EC Orion. I love the blue/purple tips.
One question, why wouldn't you buy Etrox's EC?

The EC coral does not look healthy. Often they look like that as they go down. However since this coral only in the tank for a few hrs it maybe adjusting and may look better later
 
Don't worry just yet I have had mine for nearly 20 years they shrink and expand all the time. Hopefully you have a good one.
 
I have a question not sure if it has been asked without reading every page but does anyone feed their Elegance's? If so what do you feed them? How often?

I have had mine for several months and it was doing fabulous and now it is kind of looking not so good..
Any suggestions on how to keep one for long time will be greatly appreciated.

Not directly under them but I have Led Lights and also not directly in the path of any heavy current/flow.
