Maybe the rabbit fish picked at it well before it got to this state and you just didn't see him doing it. Possibly at night or simply whenever you turn your back. I've had fish do this and would only catch them in the act if I had a camera on the tank. For some reason they would not pick on the coral whenever I was around. Fish are weird.
Anyway, it just seems too coincidental that the elegance is fine, then add fish and suddenly elegance has all it's tentacles chewed off??

I don't know if the rabbit fish are reef safe or no?
Since u had it for long time, and others are alright, maybe ur fish?sometimes corals do this, they die randomly even water is fine and everything else.

Scribbled rabbitfish NOT reef safe. I would bet that the rabbit was nibbling on the elegance since he entered the tank. If the fish are listed as 'reef safe with caution'...it means they are not reef safe. It means there is a strong likelihood that they will eat corals, and usually they do. Some people have a little luck as long as they keep the fish well fed and satisfied, but it never lasts IMO. Everyone says they are fine, until they start eating corals.

I've seen it countless times, there is no cure and no way to stop it once it does.
In the 90's elegance were the easiest and most sought after corals, ecs (believed to be caused by human chemicals) has wiped their reputation and numbers to the point of small quotas and a place on endangered lists. In the wild ecs is non existent
