Anyone have long term success with an indo elegance coral?

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!

I've noticed it's developing mouths at an alarming rate (to me) and it's stretching out a lot more. This coral truly needs it's space!

I recently lost 2 that I bought at the same time and they looked great for 4 months. Then the tentacles receded and within 2 weeks of each other they had all but disappeared to nothing but skeleton.

+1 on the lower light lower current areas for best success.
