Elegance coral issue

[malira]

We've had the coral about a year. It had the green fluorescent center when we bought it but faded about 2 months later. I've been waiting for it to make a come back but no such luck. I've tried high flow and low but nothing.

Did yours do this?

Did yours do this?

No. Mine just has lost its green stripes in the middle. A fellow reefer posted a great article on elagance corals and it stated I needed to feed it.

All that's left of mine is the round part at the right side of it. Something has happened to it. I always fed mine reef roids/mysis and it loved it, but I'm afraid it's not going to pull through whatever is going on. Glad yours isn't more serious than a feeding issue! Hopefully that will clear it all up!

I stay away from the elegance corals. They're one of the few that I can't keep long term. My first one last like 8 months. Second one about 4 weeks in a very mature and stable tank.
