Elegance getting better

[Elegance Coral]

Just wanted to share some pics of one of my Elegance corals. I know he looks bad, but I have faith.

How long have you had it?

I've had this one for about 8 months.

It certainly doesn't look like it's dying but it looks like it has a ways to go. What did it look like when you got it? Do you feed it?

It was somewhat bleached when I got it. It's tentacles have pink tips and were only about 1/2 of an inch long. It expanded to about twice the size it is now. I'm sorry i don't have a pic of what it looked like when I first got it. Sometimes I can get it to eat and others it just lets the food go. It feeds better when it is fully expanded, but I am at work in the middle of the day when It is at its fullest. I have been thinking about changing the light cycle so that high noon to them will be around 7:00 at night when I'm at home.

This is another one of my Elegance corals that are getting better. You can see how the tentacles are getting longer in the second pic. I'm sorry it's such a bad pic. It is from my cell phone. I will try to take some new pics this weekend.

It's a pretty coral.

Thanks. It's getting there. I hope some day I will have to buy it a bigger tank.

polyp extension is fine... but do focus on feeding and improving its color. Target feed daily with very fine foods (mysis or smaller... coral-frenzy, cyclop-eeze, etc)
