Will an Elegance coral be fine in a nutrient deficient tank?

Interesting, I have had my elegance for like three years now and the thing just keeps growing. My clown also hosts this elegance, he must think it is an anemone lol.

I have the envy.

scunan,
First off that is awesome looking. Second is it Australian or from Indonesia?

great job with yours!

The one I was looking at was metallic green with bright purple tips, is there anyway to tell if it would be from Australia? I heard that they were starting to allow the export of corals in limited numbers.

Which means many many dollar signs

Yep, you'll most likely know an Australian Elegance by the price...

I must say, I was rather impressed by the response from Liveaquaria. Not at all what I expected when I clicked on the link. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Elegance coral in this hobby and I also found it rather interesting that they mentioned Blastos. It seems they've become quite a problem for a lot of people as well.

This actually gives me hope that maybe in a couple years elegance corals will be something even I can keep.

I was actually thinking about cutting mine in half because it is getting so big.

I have never had a problem keeping brains or any corals, just don't over crowd them and keep your water in good condition. Ot seems that T5's and Metals work best. ( this is the short answer )

Question guys...
does the elegance coral close up like an anemone on a regular basis?

I've had my elegance coral in my SPS dominated reef for over two years now. I'm not sure where it originated from. I feed him a few pieces of krill every week or two and he's doing great.
