Show off those elegance corals!

I have 2. Both Aussie, one pink tipped, and one purple tipped. Hard to photo as they are under overhangs in very little light.

Pink tipped:

Purple tip thats quite a bit smaller and quite PO'ed here as my wrasses always seem to dig it up:

Here's an Elegance I picked up a couple years ago from Cherry Corals. I was having problems keeping them alive and his were advertised as 'Bulletproof Elegance'. It was just a one inch frag. But it's done incredibly well and grown like a beast, now about 8" end to end. It's got a resident crab and sometimes a canary blenny likes to lounge amongst its tentacles.

And here are a couple of smaller ones, side by side, in a different tank. They're a bit more secluded and not out front like the other one.

Love this! These are some really awesome pieces. That yellow tip is fire!

The pink tip is really cool looking.
 
Wow! How long have you had this beauty? What par is it getting?
had it almost two years (was size of a baseball and now a soccer ball and under all orphek Atlantiks and Orphek OR3's
 
Some worker at a lfs told me 15yrs ago that these were hard to keep and almost always die over time. That stuck with me and I've never bought one. Are they any harder than other lps or sps corals?
 
I have two elegance corals, both from Aqua SD. My first one is a vibrant blue/green with bluish purple tips and is relatively small for an elegance. I liked it so much that I ordered another one and it turned out to be HUGE! It became the centerpiece because I had no other place for it in my tank. Unfortunately the larger one started to separate from the skeleton about a month ago but it still looks happy and healthy.

Wow! That vibrant one is awesome! Aqua SD has some pretty nice stuff. I've purchased quite a bit from them.
 
Had a pink tipped aussie in 2016 that grew incredibly fast. In a matter of a month or so it was too big. This one ate my snails.

Now I have a purple tipped one. I prefer the pink but I couldn’t find any near me.

I’m not great at pics but this guy is a party to the eye when he is all the way open. Behind a cage bc I have a scribble angel and a powder brown tang that tore my last one to pieces!! I also attached to a rock this time he kept toppling over and getting sand covered now he is huge. I’ll get a better pic today fully opened.
