Let me add as well that they can eat snails. I lost a turbo to mine and even had to rescue an abalone from it once. The tank that they are placed in should be very stable and mature too. Feeding is certainly beneficial and like Denny said, they are extremely slow to heal.

These corals are seemingly being collected from deeper water than in previous years so I recommend a very slow light acclimation process.

Med random flow with indirect light on the sand bed. they will shrink at night to a 1/4 of there size. I have had mine for 3 years and has prospered - it takes up a large amount of space when fully out - also my favorite coral.

if the sweeper tentacles are sticky you are laughing.

oh man, just read the reefkeeping article on Elegance Coral Syndrome. I had a beautiful, healthy elegance coral from Australia for over a year, then I added a much more colourful elegance from Indonesia. The Indonesian elegance was dead within a month, and the previously healthy Australian elegance started exhibiting all the symptoms of ECS and was dead a few weeks after the Indonesion one. I guess I know what happened now.

IT seems the key to keeping these guys long term is to get one that's never been exposed to a coral with ECS. These guys would be a solid candidate for long term quarantining if you ever plan on keeping more than one.
