I don't believe anybody has found out and proven why these corals do not do well in captivity. The specs you posted are great, and also watch the cal and ALK.

It looks healthy so maybe you can beat the statistics!! You need to be careful acclimating it to the MHs... it should do well under MHs after it's acclimated.
Make sure it does not fall or anything falls on it... damaging the tissue of any LPS coral can be fatal.
Good luck...

Definately put it down in the sand they like murky water like sumps. I think the reason they dont do well is because the tanks water is so clean. Skimmers take away the stuff that elegance loves. I have wanted to try one myself but havent because of the track record. Good luck though it sure is pretty, Carrie

Keep it away from other corals, as it will sting the hell out of them.
They have sweepers that extend very far.
