New Aussie Elegance

[Alchameth]

Arrived today, little on the chilly side as AZ has been cooooooold overnight so was a tad under 70deg... so I was a little worried. But just did my float and drip acclimation, setup my coral QT and dropped them in. Had a AI Prime 16HD I was fixing to sell, but figured I'd put it to good use while I still had it. Set the spectrum to what my Hyrdas are set to, turned on the light and it opened right up.

I have not had the best luck with Elegance's for some reason, but this is definitely off to a good start!

Super easy to keep. I started with a two-incher, put it in a medium flow area of my tank and I’ve been feeding it a mix of reef roids, reef chili, and frozen mysis paste every two days (sometimes more), and it’s been a joy to keep. I’ve even fed it dead fish (reef casualties). It currently hosts my clowns. It’s about 1 1/2 feet across when I shut off the flow, 7-8 inches with the flow on. Here’s a baby pic and a current pic.
