oh man, just read the reefkeeping article on Elegance Coral Syndrome. I had a beautiful, healthy elegance coral from Australia for over a year, then I added a much more colourful elegance from Indonesia. The Indonesian elegance was dead within a month, and the previously healthy Australian elegance started exhibiting all the symptoms of ECS and was dead a few weeks after the Indonesion one. I guess I know what happened now.
IT seems the key to keeping these guys long term is to get one that's never been exposed to a coral with ECS. These guys would be a solid candidate for long term quarantining if you ever plan on keeping more than one.
