Anyone have long term success with an indo elegance coral?

Hmm, I'll have a week in Weds, and lol Rogue too funny , I think I will keep it!

It is beautiful, green with pinkish-purple tentacles and bright purple tips that glow.

Guess I will see what all happens. I really hope it makes it; I will update in a few weeks with hopefully good news that it's still ticking. It seems pretty happy as far as I can see; and I fed it tonight and it ate.

I agree, yours looks like it's in great shape. Based on your description I'd say you have as good a chance as anyone as that guy becoming a show-piece in your tank. If you're ever near a band saw and happen to have it with you... you just let me know

Still doing well.... Knock on wood. Tentacles are getting longer also

Very stunning coral!! I've never wanted to try one as I thought they were difficult to keep, but this thread has been quite educational as to what the issues are. May give one a go!!

If it makes the first few weeks then your fine......

It's been over two weeks now.. I forget the day I brought it home. I'm pretty sure I brought it home April 17; and it was in the store for a few weeks. Fingers crossed; as it is quite "beautimous".

Yah I'm willing to wager that you're in the clear, it wouldn't be getting stronger if it was sick, and longer tentacles are a sign of a happy elegance. That's one beautiful coral. Sigh. I want another one!
