I'm at my whits end. This coral had been closed up like this for almost 3 months I guess ? Before it was fully open with tentacles extended. My other elegance is normal as are all my sps.
Po is.04 -hannah
No is 2 maybe lower- salifer
Cal is normal and so is mag.
I've dipped it in iodine, revive, and coral rx at different times. And no change. It reaches when I feed the rank and it seems to feed but or remains closed, any ideas ? Sorry not best pic bit best I could get at the moment.

Elegances are so delinquent.. very hard to keep happy and alive long term. I hate to say it but i dont believe your elegance is gonna see its prime time again..

I think that Elegance coral needs feeding with meaty foods I feed pieces of a mussel once a week on top of my feeding scheme for my tank. In nature they live in turbid low light zones, IMHO this spells that they rely more on food compared to other corals.
