CongratsYeah it's a purple tip
That's awesome. I wonder if it's genetics for some to have short stubby tentacles and some long flowingSo i came home and it was opened up fully!
I've heard from others what @tankguy mentioned, that there are certain areas that they are harvested from that tend to be more resilient than others. I don't have any firsthand experience with them though.
Beautiful specimen. Now I want one!Challenge accepted! Couldn't let you guys have all the fun with an Elegance Coral.
Picked up an Australian Pink Tipped Elegance from Aquatic Collection today (well technically yesterday). Opened up nicely after a few hours.
Taken under Radion XR15w Pro G4 @ 20,000K lighting
That's stunning I can't wait for my redsea 250 to be ready down in a few months to add another elegance. I saw a blue tip one at the lfs where I picked mine up. Hands down one of my favorite coral. What I noticed is thay once a week it likes to close for about a day and a half but not closed completely but just about 1/3 it's normal size yesterday it was the biggest I have ever seen it!!! Definitely a coral worth keeping for its sheer beauty and elegance!!Beautiful specimen. Now I want one!

I have a piece of this through DBTC @Enderturtle via @boun11 . It is doing great - only shrinks when too much flow so it is now happy on the sand without too much flow or light. I also do not feed it.Got mine from @boun11. Hasn't grown much. I don't feed mine either.

Best of luck maybe try moving it? Wish I could be more helpI now understand why people have said these things are temperamental. My elegance is about to bite the dust. It was looking great the first 3-4 days, but then starting shrinking and shrinking. Then the flesh started to receed from the skeleton. And now today, half the tissue is missing from tissue necrosis. My guess? Got injured during my transport and got brown jelly disease, that ECS mentioned in that article above, or something of the sort. Went real quick though. Sad, I really like this solid green one with pink tips. I think I got a 5% chance this thing makes it.
