I was hoping I could see some too... for the past 3 years apparently they've been doing badly in captivity.

I bought a elegance from golds over a year ago and it is doing awesome. You can see my clown playing in it if you look at my avatar

Ohh wow, very cool!

Quick question.... what are the specs on your tanks, everyone? That has owned an elegance, I mean like, what type of equipment and setups? Im wondering if it might be a certain water issue, or tank style/type?

Previously I had the Elegance in my 180 gallon tank. It is now in a 30 gallon cube. At first while the tank was re establishing I didnt think it was doing so hot but now it is doing great. Elegance corals don't like the greatest water quality. They are very forgiving and like to be on the bottom of the tank on a sandy bottom. Also extremely bright light isn't required, VHO or power compact will suffice.

It's definately strange because I don't really dose anything besides Kalk via. my topoff water. Although I've read they can be sensitive to this..

It's great to hear that some people are having luck with them though. I hope mine pull through, they are very nice corals.
