Your tank looks kinda new, is it still cycling?

Elegance can be tough to keep, Aussie are easier to keep than Indo ones. It looks like a goner unless you test your water & fix what's going on. You want to test Mg, Ca, & Alk.

yeah guys this thing died long ago but partially alive now im trying xenia yeah my tank is about 3 months old

Yeah, I'd make sure things are generally in check before adding coral to the tank. Make sure all your parameters are correct, and STABLE. Also make sure you have proper lighting for your corals. And make sure they're getting the correct flow.

I see a lot of sand on what's left on the elegance. You want to keep it clear of debris if you want it to get better

Im wondering how its still alive partially will do

 

[gone fishin]

didn't you change upgrade tanks. Did you change the lighting?

 

[esquire805]

didn't you change upgrade tanks. Did you change the lighting?

Yes I changed to the fluval full spectrum light 25w 25000k 312 leds

 

[hypostatic]

Ah, this might be the cause. From what I've read, elegances are very sensitive to brighter lights, and bluer lights (above like 15k I think?)

 

[Pegadi]

I think you should try with easier softy corals until your system is more mature IMO

 

[esquire805]

Yeah thanks guys that elegance died long ago still in my tank I've learned my lesson
