wow. reefwars you are awesome. I will likely take you up on that.
I just turned the lights down, so I am going to wait and see how things turn out. I did turkey baster some krill in there a few days ago when it opened up a bit. I will again if it opens again. Maybe middle of next week we will re-evaluate, and I may be PMing you. Here is my concern although: much of my research points to a protozoa that apparently infects Elegance Coral, and "there is nothing you can do to stop it"? These same blog posts say that once it is in your tank you can never get rid of it. I wouldn't want to infect your healthy tank! If you don't subscribe to this theory (sounds like you don't) I will be happy to relinquish my Elegance Coral for your TLC - if it comes to that.

no worries ive been in your boat im on my 5th or is it 6th elegance over the years, the first 4 i lost for diff reasons the 5th did fine and sold and the one i have currently is a monster. they do catch infection easily , and they have alot of soft tissue area that can be at risk. does it open at all for you now?? (if it does then its a very good sign) any slime be it white or brown come from it?? can you see its skelaton, not the shell but the ridges under its body, does it look like the body is lifting or any tearing of the skin??

it does open - but only a fraction (~10%) of what it used to there is white 'cob webby' stuff on it every morning can't see the skeleton ... it is really just puffy all the time. it looks to be intact to the edge of the shell. I am going to go get my SLR camera and take some good pics to send over tonight ... stay tuned! Quote:
gravel - well: I bought it from the LFS and it is finely crushed coral ... I believe. The regular stuff. Definitely not the sand you would find on a beach in Cancun! I bought the tank second hand - it was used for salt water fish only prior ... and I cleaned it with vinegar and rinsed thoroughly prior to using. I have 2 other LPSs and a SPSs currently doing well in the tank.
