Elegance Coral

thanks Otty, you gave me some hope, mine kinda looks like what yours did in the beginning. Any tips on how to get it that big

 

I feed mine two dime size piece of shrimp every 3 to 4 weeks. I go to Kroger and get one piece of fresh shrimp so that I know there is no additives in it like frozen foods have. And yes they laugh at me every time I ask for 1 shrimp. One of the workers knows me now and he doesn't even have to ask when he see's me.
I cut the shrimp up and let it soak in RO/DI water for about 20 minutes then I feed with with a set of stainless steel forceps. Never touch the mantle with your hands, if you have to move it then make sure you let it close up and you touch the skeletal base only.

 

Gotcha, thanks.
I just purchased some rotifers, can I feed those to the coral

 

Beautiful elegance Scott and everyone else! Maybe one day...

 

Don't really know, I just feed mine shrimp.

I really don't know mission, I think it is a sign of being healthy because the tentacles will shorten up if the NO3's go up or if I need to change the carbon. I will try and get a pic of it next time it happens to show you the difference. It also wads up when I harvest out of the fuge too.

 

Don't forget to pick up some test kits too, that point has been lost in the thread!! I only trust Elos/Salifert to my tank, I want to know for myself what everything reads. Just a thought. Now back to elegance digest!

 

Thanks again, it got lost awhile ago, who would have thought this would be such a fun thread!

 

Anybody else got pics of an elegance

 

otty i do not run carbon at all. could that be why its going up and down??
