Elegance Corals

Here is mine, it was sold as a Australian and it's skeleton looks similar to yours. I've had it for almost 2 years now. I think Indos have the cone shape while australian ones have this shape that we have.

Don't mean to harass you but......

Completely false information here, and no idea where this information started and has just spread as word of mouth. The formation of the skeleton is just where they are collected from. Conical shaped bases are collected from the sandbed, while flatter shapes are collected/fragged from the rock work.

Similar to wall or branching hammers. Same coral, just different growth patterns. Has nothing to do with what region they are collected from.

Here’s mine, sorry I’m not sure where it’s from. Had it about 2.5 months and it’s the size of a dinner plate. It has around 5 months so I keep it well fed.

false information here

As a supporting point, I have an elegance sold as Aussie but with a cone shaped skeleton. I bought it from LA so I'd hope that the description was accurate.

Both of my elegance's are aussie( LFS showed me the shipping label, and invoice from the supplier in AU. Over the years we have become close friends so he did not hesitate to show me), and both have conical bases. FWIW.

Thanks for clarifying that. I was always told otherwise. Is there a way to determine australian vs indo vs malaysian based on other characteristics by any chance?

I feed at least 3 times a week, very small amount of mix of mysis, squid that comes in a small cube for all my corals including the elegance.
