The Elegance Coral Project
- Thread starter EricHugo
- Start date
As someone who loved and maintained these corals a long time ago (when they were indeed 'easy'), the mystery of their decline in our tanks over the last has few years has haunted me as few other questions concerning the hobby have. I am thrilled that a serious inquiry has finally begun. My check is on the way.

I just want to say that I have been blown away by the way you all have come through to support this project. I have passed all of the nice notes you've sent with the donations on to Eric.
What a great group of people on this board! With this kind of support, surely we'll get something done and make a difference.
I have to say this is one of the best volunteer projects I have ever taken on. To see all this support coming in with the enthusiastic and just REALLY nice notes is really fun!
Keep 'em coming ......

I will send these pics to Eric separatly if desired. Since I have not mastered the upload size limitations for RC, go to my yahoo photos page and there is a folder titled Elegance problems. You can see several there. Thought I would do this before sending them all off to you. I have had it in my tank for close 6 months. Up until last month it took up the entire corner when extended.

You know, if everyone who visited this thread sent in five dollars, or could talk their fish store into letting them have one sick elegance coral, the first part of this project would be almost done and/or we'd have enough money to really get to work.
I found the stores I have visited receptive. One donated a sick Heliofungia, too. That's another project fo another day, but I will keep it for future work on this species.
Guys, seriously, as a hobby populace, we can get to the bottom of these things. I'm not kidding abot goniopora after this, either. Its next on the list.
Let's make a real contribution to the hobby we love.

Yesterday I went to two good LFS in the Memphis area. Neither one had any Elegance. I printed off Eric's write up and gave each of the owners a copy. Also, made up an index card in case they had a message board:
Elegance Corals
(catalaphyllia)
sick, dying or dead
wanted for reasearch project
by Eric Borneman
www.reefobsession.com/ecp
or call: (my number)
One of the owners was really interested. Said he hadn't even experienced a survival rate of 25% and said he might be willing to order an elegance for the project. Said he'd read Eric's write up and contact us. Eric ... if he emails you directly, his name is Ken.
I wasn't able to talk to the owner at the other store. Saturday afternoon is not the best time to try and talk ... it was a zoo in both stores.
