An old school purple tip I picked up a while back. When I found it it was in a tank with a few sick indos and its tentacles were short and stubby - what a change.

I haven't seen any picture threads for these...elegance have to be my favorite coral.

Nice coral. One of my favorite also. What did you do to revive it?
 
Man, that brings back memories. My first primo coral was a version of that guy in 1998. Enjoy her and bring her back to all her glory.
 
I didn't do anything honestly - it just bounced back - the tentacles are getting crazy long now.
Its a very different looking coral when compared to the Aussie elegance I already had and which was doing well. I hope it keeps going...

I was worried when I bought it that it had the "elegance disease" and would kill both - but being a true addict - I couldn't resist. I got lucky this time...

It]s Aussie neighbor is below...the above elegance is of unknown origin and is a "cut" peice - the bottom aussie has the connical "mud" skeleton...same flow on both.

I've seen sooooo many jelly out. :(
