Yes, my (was Nick's) elegance is still doing great.

I think there is a higher chance of them dying within a few months of them being harvested from the wild, but once they have been established for a while they are fine.

to my understanding the disease isnt found in the wild only in captivity.

ECS(elegnace coral syndrome) is highly contagious so when a elegant shares the same system as an infected species it to has a very high chance to surcome to ECS and more than likely will

ECS can kill as fast as a few days or up to a year later.

it can infect all species of Catalaphyllia

there is no known cure to my knowlege?


cheers
