is it some sort of chemical warfare between the two diffrent corals, I have heard that a uv steralizer helps break down such chemicals that would do harm. or is it one of those goniopora like corals that people cant keep alive. where is its natural habitat. if it is a lagoonal coral than a "dirtier" tank would be better for it. but i cant see why it would not benefit from a cleaner tank otherwise?

It is hard to say. I read a report from noted coral guy Eric Borneman where he had an established elegance in a tank, and recently added a new one that was one the same system, but in a different tank...and both up and died in two weeks or so. The problem with elegance has been a recent thing...which is why I think it is of interest to people.
