I have a 60g tank. 2 - 165w lights overhead. Purchased an elegance coral from my lfs that was looking great, fully opened. I've had it for 3 weeks now and it's never fully opened up. I've adjusted light heights, outputs and it doesn't open up. I've researched info on this coral and data is all over the place. So my questions are:
How much lighting does elegance need? Low or medium lighting?
How much flow? Currently in low flow area.

Thanks for any input.

Elegance do best in a stable mature tank, med light and low flow.. walls are tougher to keep than cones in my experience. Providing info about your tank such as age and parameters will help people give you advice, pictures are helpful also.

Lower the light and do not add any additives to the water. They are very sensitive to light
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
