I have an elegance coral and want to know how often I should feed it? Any advise is appreciated. I am new to the hobby. I attached pictures. They are not good quality. But I thought it might show how big it is. Thanks

I give mine small pieces of thawed frozen shrimp, about once a week or two weeks

Mine has been with me for over 20 years. It has survived every stupid thing I could throw at it. I don’t feed it. But its resident momma clownfish does.

Oh my goodness! You will have to post a pic. That is why I got it. I would love for clowns to host it. But so far nothing. This was from someone’s tank who had to break it down. It is almost to big for my tank. But I LOVE it!

I have two elegance corals. Purchased at the same time.... one by me and the other by another hobbyist friend. He had nothing but problems with his. I have nursed it back to health, now they both look pretty identical. I do not feed them. Like someone above said, I do have a wondering clown pair that will host in them on occasion and will feed them excess mysis. If they catch other foods... it is in passing.
