Elegance Coral

[xavier]

After some fails, I?m finally keeping this elegance coral for more than 4 months!
The secret is the food, water quality and light...
Enjoy!

Hi I don't want to be a smart a## but what food and light Thanks Jason

jajja..I?m culturing phytoplankton (nanochloropusus) so I can get some fresh food. I?m following Joseph W Swipes indications and I can guarantee that it works. The corals looks great and is really cheap to produce it. You can find his book in Amazon : "Saltawater Aquariums made easy"
Lights are 4x65W 2-Dual Daylight / 2-Dual Actinic
hope it helps you

As long as you don't have clowns who may try to host it which happened to me and killed it.

A difficult coral to keep

That's an understatement. Although not impossible to keep, it has to be one of the most difficult LPS to keep, IMO.

I have one for a month and looks to be ok but he's hard to feed, when I do the shrimps go crazy tring to grab it from him. :irked:

I have had two. 1 I sold, b/c it was to big for my small 34 gallon(had it about 4-5 months), and the 2nd I have now. I have had it about 3 months. I have 250w MH. I never feed it(although I would bet it gets fed when the whole tank gets fed)...and it is doing great.
from what ive read, the aussie elegance's are better suited for tanks. They rarely catch the "disease" that kills elegances(although I have forgotten what that "disease" is)

also, I keep mine on the sand bed.
yours looks odd in the rocks, and do you have 3 different elegances? It looks like 3 different corals
