Looks to me that it is slowly wasting away, nothing to do with nitrates level. BTW, elegance loves nitrates and not the other way round as they are often found in muddy areas in the sea.

Those who has success with elegance are few and far between, so it depends on your luck as the success rate is very low for keeping this coral.

Mine opened big for a week when I bought it. Now it is still alive but open very small. I fed it with chopped prawns, it makan....I feed it with marinesnow, can see it is feeding. After makan, it opened slightly bigger than back to it small shy self. I tried to change it position, nothing seems to help. Now I just leave it alone and feed it like normal.

I WILL NEVER BUY ELEGANCE AGAIN IN MY LIFE....
