Visually you cant tell for sure. However a lot of the Indo elegance are collected as small free-living colonies and have a small cone shaped skeleton. While many of the Aussi elegance are cut from much larger colonies and have a wall shaped skeleton with flat broken or cut areas. The best way to know is to be told from a trustworthy retailer.
Elegance coral apparently live in turbid sea grass areas of a reef which is why many believe that they need nutrient enriched water. However I think most would agree that even the cleanest tanks are still much 'dirtier' than a healthy reef.
