I've seen a few of those at the lfs in Edmonton and Calgary. Been to so many stores in the past weekend though, I can't remember which ones had them. I must say though they are very pretty.

I can remember the day when they were commonplace and easy to keep. Then something happened and they becamne scarce and difficult to keep alive for more than a couple months. Something to do with a strain of bacteria that was introduced.

Yes, that seems to be the general perception. I have had some success with elegance corals, but lost one to a tank crash (stuck heater) fording me to put the other one in a brand new tank and I think it was damaged from the crash, so it eventually perished. I have this one in ideal conditions and, as I said above, my tank is perfect, so I'm hoping I will be fragging it in a year or so (correction, Oakville Reef Gallery will be fragging it) when it out grows my tank

That's a beautiful specimen! I saw some elegance while I was at ORG in April but yours is a cut above. They do have some gorgeous corals there. Definitely a great gift. Best of luck with it.

Cool color, hopefully it lives long term. I just passed the one year mark with mine. It also survived being fragged back in August. So now I have three
