I have had a elegance coral for 2 years now and it is doing great I have it on the sand with very little flow. I have never target fed the coral and it is doing great has grown quite a bit since I purchaced the coral. The only reason I got the coral is because I seen in in ***** and I new it would not make it if someone didnt buy it soon, so I bought it allthough I new of its poor survival rate and was taking a big chance but I thought it would be better off in a established reef tank. Everyone that sees it cant believe that I have had it for 2 years. Guess I got a good one.
