Aussie Elegance coral success rate?

[nanodude87]

I know elegance corals used to never live... I heard that aussie elegance corals had a much higher success rate when they first started bringing them in a while back... Is this still the case? Anyone have one? How long have you had it?

I tried three aussie elegances from LA and none of them made it past three months. I won't buy another one.

My buddy has a pink tip the size of a basketball. I'm waiting for him to get out so I can buy it. :)

I have had tons in and never had one died in my tanks yet. I have kept some for 6 months. Try to get one that has not been cut off a bigger chunk or fragged.

Here's a pic of one... http://www.purelycaptivecorals.com/Homepage Photos/elegancecoral-BrettDanner.jpg

"aussie" is just where it comes from australia... But previously they were coming from elsewhere and the success rate was very low.

The ones from austrailia are real hardey. just mag sure you have good mag. I have had one for a year so far. I heard the others are the easy to kill ones

I've got one that's about 14" when it's fully opened and I've had it for about 6 months... not sure if it's an Aussie though

I have had one for now about 8 months. It was one of my first corals added to my 46 gallon, and has really since day one been my healthiest.
