bro, maybe your fishes have been disturbing it..used to haved one nice elegance until my sailfin tang start to develope a liking for it...and it became like.........just my 0.02

[barnacle]

bro....try check again your NO3 or try 20 percent water change

elegance are hard to keep.....water condition must be tip top

or could be kena disturb by fish. how long u had the elegance?

[ah_d3x]

phew....lucky its recovering... i did water changes... 10% only... haha!!! but the tentacle still look quite small.. neber expand..

[Tangs]

I just brought one elegance too.Neve expand and keep wither off quite sad

just like the same as you.don't know what is happening.. hopefully it will recover

did a 10% water change but still the same.

I had my elegance for over 12 months leow. I saw it having this cycle a few times.

Generally, when there is a spike of NO3- or under some stress, it will shrink. But it can recover, if u leave it alone for a while. I used to have >50ppm, but when I change water, it may sometime shrink due to stress.

I found that if I placed elegance on the sandbed, i.e. lying on the sand, it will open very big. I think u can try to do so, they dun do too well on the rocks. It also do well with moderate current.

hey i read somewhere that it is better to place elegance on the sandbed and elegance do need a very minute amount of nitrate ... hey hey hey , if i gotton it wrong please dun flame mi , wait for the expert ke ke =)

if it is still not recovering.. try putting it in ur sump for some time.. maybe it is due to disturbance by ur fishes... as my open brain shrinked too... and i tried placing it in my sump... and it is recovering..

just my 2cents..

[ah_d3x]

doing... well now... haha...

Do you feed your elegance? I feed my elegance with fish/ shrimp meat every fornightly.
