Morgan,

If you cause a hype with all elegance by posting this picture, you will be resposible for the death of countless corals.

All,

Elegance is NOT an easy coral to keep. They are very sensitive and get diseased very easily. They often come injured already and are bought to just rot in the tanks.

[Morgan]

I already put a note stating that it is not an easy coral

Good and firm 'reprimanding' here... mod... (Adding 'fuel to fire'... )

Yalor...he always starts a trend...remember his AT postings?

Some 'gungho' reefers will be so tempted to take up the challenge to defy the fact...

[DeepBlue]

went to our local farms and saw tons of them....already too late.....would either die in inexp reefers' tanks or in the farms....

most pple dun buy them because we dun know how they were harvested and packed for shipping.....those extra cares before sale will greatly increase the survival chance of these corals

[Tanzy]

Ja, and achilles tangs too. Now everyone will want an 8' tank.

[Morgan]

The AT episode is not me......remember the other guy

[Morgan]

IME...elegance are not really that diffcuilt if all the condition are met......but they go downhill fast if something is to go wrong.

My older 1 is still doing very well....and my 2nd pc given by my friend is recovering.....it was dying in his tank

[Tanzy]

Is that an elegance skeleton on the top left of the picture?

[Morgan]

Yes that is the dead part of the elegance that my friend gave me......

Those parts that survived are not in the pic.

[Morgan]

Here is a pic of the recovering elegance......those bare skelton area was rotting tissue 2 weeks back. Fortunately the rotting stop and now it is recovering.

The byopsis was growing on it when I got it. .

Very nice Elegance Coral, one of my favorite. But always can't kept more than two weeks......So ..

So place at top or bottom, sand.....?

best is to avoid them.

no need to worry whether to place at top, middle or bottom.

Ok to try to save the coral, but why would you risk a byopsis outbreak in your tank, by putting in a coral thats covered in it.

[Matt06]

I got a few till I gave up, and I sincerely urge people stop buyin this coral unless you have the most advanced aquarium system that runs in your house.

[andysho]

this coral is not easy to keep

look very pretty but hard to keep

u need to have perfect water parameter to keep

this delicate guys~~~~~

I think this is one of the LPS that reefer dun really respect its needs.

Many reefers give due respect to SPS when handling them, but when comes to LPS and soft corals, they thought it is easy.... same goes to anemones!

probably many are misleded by comments from LFS.

Ian....got no choice, it was already very bad condition and it is not easy to pull off the byopsis.

I'm not too worried about byopsis as it will not grow very well in my tank and will disappear in a few weeks......nutrient is very low. My biggest pest algae is caulerpa.

I had bought mine on Sat at LCK110 as it is really beautiful, but i have check at liveaquaria.com stating its care level is moderate so i thought its not too difficult to keep , hope it wont die....

[Morgan]

You should do a search on RC and then you know what is the success rate.....

Nowadays elegance are not that easy to keep
