Elegance corals are a type of large polyp stony (LPS) coral that are found throughout the Pacific. It is a beginner friendly LPS, as it is hardy as does not require much in terms of lighting, it also readily accepts prepared foods. These specimens are palm sized when fully opened.
.
Elegance prefer low to medium lighting, (30 - 150 par). If you wish to place them in higher lighting, be sure to acclimatize them.
Moderate to high water movement is recommended, just be sure to not have them blasted with flow from the same direction constantly.
Elegance derive most of their energy from their zooxanthellae. Elegance will do better when fed, often showing more polyp extension and better coloration.
This is a general guideline, alveopora are rather sensitive to these parameters, especially to sudden changes or swings. It is ideal to keep all these parameters within range as they will change with time, due to alveopora being an LPS. A good guideline will be to target stable parameters as long as they are within a reasonable range.
