Elegance coral end detached from skeleton

[bauder1986]

Meant, crabs and snails and such for inverts.

Anyways couple of reasons an elegance will recede it's flesh like that. In your case, if you have crabs, they could have injured the flesh while climbing on it to steal the LPS pellets you fed it. Happened to me once. Or you could have had a temp swing it didn't like. Or maybe it's the lighting it does not like. So many variables. We need more info

I’ve always found elegance very hard..... same with the gold torches....

Yours is not happy - that’s for sure....

How long was it at j&l before you bought it ?

There is a disease elegance corals get....

I have 5 trochus snails, and 2 blue leg hermits.

The light is Current USA Orbit Marine (not the IC variant).

Its opened up quite well during the day actually. Also feeding well this morning.

Personally I am of belief that Current USA fixtures should be used for really shallow tanks and low light corals. They are using 0.5W LEDs, which dont produce high enough PAR for most corals that we keep. While corals may be able to survive with them, they will just survive, not thrive. Other than low CA, as was already mentioned, I would say it isnt getting enough light as well.

The tank is only 12 inches deep, so it would be considered a pretty shallow tank
