    So I got a elegance coral last month @ a frag swap & it has really enjoyed being in the tank so far.. I have also enjoyed it in my tank... well last night I got the privilege to watch it start to devour a bristle worm it took it all night to get it down.. lol.. here's a video of a little bit of what I got to see before bed... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zir_JlnRAGA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
    Here's a pic of him finishing it up this morning when I woke up.. way to go elegance.. I did not know they liked bristle worms..lol

    Nice! I like it, I found it odd when I read your post that I realized I don't have any bristle worms. Nice Coral though.

    Thank you! I have quite a few bristle worms but so far they have not caused any problems & I have a couple inhabitants in the tank that will eat them.. so hopefully they will not be as many as time goes on... it was really cool to watch though, & its still working on getting it all the way down... so cool!:D

    That's a great elegance coral. They grow pretty fast. I feed mine twice a week to keep it happy.

    I feed mine a mix of mysis shrimp and rods food. They love meaty items. I also put coral vibrance and reef chili in the tank twice a week for all the corals so I'm sure they grab some as well. I can't believe how fast everything is growing, even my clams.
