The Elegance Coral Project

Eric,I'm e'mailing you a pic of Elegance,the one with crab.I would post it bere but i'm kinda a newbie when it comes to posting pics and re-sizing them
 
Sorry I spelled your name wrong.

Actually, you all may not want me to put your names? Sorry if you didn't.

For the future, please let me know with your donation how you want me to acknowledge.

THANKS for the help so far!

Cathy
 
No problem, Kathy. I mean Cathy...
now we're even.

Eric: FWIW, I have an apparently healthy elegance in my tank since May of 20003. Not real anxious to part with it of course. If you need an illustrator/designer's help with the project let me know. Good luck.
 
Anyone with photgraphs or high quality images of Elegance Corals (healthy or not) please send them to me at spollock@carolina.rr.com so that they can be included on the website we are setting up for this project.

Please only send me files in .jpg format so that I can get them on the site without too much editing. Also please provide accurate tank information (size, water params, lighting...etc) and photo credit info.

The site is active but still going thru some changes so bear with me for a few more days.

Randall: Hold that thought. Let's see how we do with acquisition. If healthy tissue becomes a problem, maybe a little snip of tissue as described in the description would suffice. We may not need it at all, but thanks for the heads up.
 
and .... MORE THANKS! .......

Hi Eric, I posted this thread two days ago and a fellow reefer forward me your link. Here is my thread.

Elegant coral...potential problem?
hey fellow reefers, I added an elegant coral in my tank about 4 weeks ago and with the last 2 days, it hasn't been opening a big as it has been the last 4 weeks. I was told that these guys are some what difficult and a bit of a challenge. My tanks is 6 month has been doing very well with great results. Is there anything I need to know about these guys? input plz


With that said, I am curious on that percentage of elegant coral that do make it in captivity. Is it less that 25%? I will forward you a pic of my elegant coral and its health. Good luck on the project!
 
Let's try to keep this thread on the subject of this project. If you are having a problem with your coral, please post it as a new thread. I'll move this post down for you.
 
I can't believe I missed thas thread for so long :rolleyes:

Good luck,Eric, with the worthy project! Unfortunately all I could do is send my financial contribution as I do not have Elegance coral in my tank anymore. However, I see them once in a while at the LFS here in some numbers and most of the ones that weren't bought look on the last leg in a few days after exibiting fully expanded tentacles for a day or two:(

I've hit two local stores, and will visit a few today looking for elegance corals. If you guys are going to your local fish stores this weekend, please take a pencil and paper and your digital camera. thanks.
 
Will do ... if I come home with anything - I'l blame you ;)

I take it get all info we can [when it came in, if possible - where from] ... and pics.
A total count of specimens, amount displaying this problem, name of location, our contact info ... and pics ... and email them to you.

Sounds good, now I can tell my fiance I have to check out the LFS for `research'. Wonder how long that excuse will last :lol:
