Well, thanks for your add-on. Stinks so much I didn't know this before and I bought it as a gift for my dad and now he's bummed. It's sitting in a basket on the top of my tank and doing great super open and fluffy but I'm prepared for it to shrink with no protection. Q: Do you feed the one in the refugium?I had this happen to mine recently as well after a couple years with good growth. Elegance corals can just bail sometimes. Chances are it's just going to wither and die. Mine has been in my refugium for over 2 months just sits open on the bottom but has slowly decreased in size. I'm pulling and tossing it this weekend.
