Elegance Coral Care Tips

- Catalaphyllia jardinei a.k.a. the elegance coral holds a special place in my heart. Way back when I first started the hobby, the elegance was one of the corals that immediately grabbed my attention and became an aspirational piece that I had to have.

Do you have a coral that got you into the hobby that you are nostalgic about?
Tidal Gardens zoas,, I literally lost my mind when I saw them close up when touched.
Japanese goniopora
Xenias.
Loving that your'e back doing these, its always my 1st stop for info on a potential new coral.
I'm hooked on Cyphastrea :)
Some of these older videos needed an update. I think my last elegance video was 6 years ago!
Love the bloopers at the end. I certainly have days like that, where the words just won't come out right. Thumbs up. To All the humans.🙌
The bloopers at the end 😅.
Thanks for the video!🤙🏻
So excited you did a spotlight on elegances. Need to get one as soon as I can start my own tank.
Magnifique, BRAVO !!! 👏👏👏
I have learned so much listening to your channel. Thank you.
I have had mine for 3 years it has grown a lot. I just love it!
They are my favorite corals !!!
Always loved these
Just bought one that has pink tips, love it!!! This was the first video I saw about corals a year ago and finally got one. Amazing coral
Great Video as always Than!
Loved the bloopers at the end!
Love it 🥰
Great video as always! Keep these more in depth ones coming :D
One of my fav can’t wait to have one in my tank
Another great video. I have never kept an elegance coral, but find them to be extremely beautiful. I am primarily an SPS coral keeper. I feel some nostalgia for the ORA Red Planet and Pearlberry. I know GSP is invasive, but I have always been a fan of using it in "island form".
had to watch this video 4 times, your voice is so subtle that I kept passing out! lol very cool video, I wish we knew more about the differences between Aussie and Indo elegances.
👍 love the blooper at the end
My favorite as well, ever since I started my first nano I wanted one. Bought my first last year and it had a gall grab that killed it, have my second now and it's doing well, can't wait for another soon!
keep the videos coming!!!!!!
Mine ate one of my small tangs!!! I couldn’t believe what I saw. Talk about feeding this coral.
Excelent video
Mine has been the best growing and living coral in the tank!
I LOVE elegance corals. I have the blue tip and the yellow tip variety. I would like to add that they absolutely love wave-motion flow - just like my euphyllia they extend 50% bigger and fleshier when they rock back and forth in the flow. Great video Than :)
yay new vid Hi Than
Ty for the Vid . =)
awesome vid than now i need one in my reef
Great video! Love the channel. Any idea why some have longer tenticals and others have more bubble like tenticals? Are these different species or just a result of the environment?
These are really pretty. I just got one from a local
Store.
Great coral mine has doubled in size in the last 10 months feed twice a week
I'm surprised to hear you have had problems fragging Catalaphyllia, touch wood I've never lost a single one even when cutting up a large colony into many smaller frags so always considered them one of the best LPS to chop up. I had one colony years ago that was a prolific grower, I used to feed heavily & then frag every 6 to 12 weeks, I wish I'd kept it!
I love elegance corals! I had two and unfortunately, both died...
Nice vid! An old saltwater guy told me some yrs ago you can see the dif.between an indo or aussie cata bc indos are more vibrant/more color types/dif patterns and the aussie ones are "only" exist at "one" color type and most of the time stripe pattern with that blue/green hint and aussie ones are "easier to cut and heal up, but im not sure if that is a myth or not.
Are you going to be at the reefpaloza in new York in a couple of weeks
Hey Than, mines has been closed up for 2 months. No receding, just no tentacles like it use to. Any ideas?
Thanks for the information about eating snails. I was going to get one, but I want my snails.
Does todoal garden get their elegance from Australia or are they propagated??
Thanks
There is a guy in my city who constantly is fragging elegance. I wonder what he is doing to have an amazing success rate. All three of mine were frags 3 years ago and are still going strong.
Always loved them just head to many heartbreaks so never got them
i think the elegance is nice but i feel like its in competition with the duncan as far as appearance in my some day tank and i am leaning toward the duncan
Hi. Your videos are great. Can’t get enough and have informed most of my coral decisions. My elegance is struggling though-please help! It thrived for 3 months but in the last week or so has Shriveled up a bit. Still nice bright color but tentacles don’t extend. I don’t know if it’s Australian or not. I don’t see any cotton build up
. I have a 92g-2 XR 15 and an LED strip lite. All other corals doing well. Should I move it to low lite? Maybe take it out and dip it in iodine?
Tough to say. Something in the tank could be bothering it but could also be an infection of some kind. A dip in an anti-infective may help.
Can someone tell me ruffly how often do they retract completely . Or is this not natural? Thanks.
Are you still using the T5s?
How aggressive are they, would they kill zoa colonies
Than, hi I would really appreciate your input, in two of my tanks I have had issues with two elegance corals despite feeding small pieces of raw prawn maintaining rigid parameters and the recommended lighting, both started off fine (Aussie Elegance) both tanks had leather corals in, I’m starting to think that the toxins from the leathers have some detriment to elegance corals, have you had any dealing with this situation?
what the best flow for elegance coral??
I’ve had my elegance coral for quite some time now. About 3 weeks ago, I got a bigger tank. Today after coming back from vacation I noticed it had a discolored spot which appears to have a new mouth in the middle. Is this how a new mouth looks or is mine sick?
Hello from Berlin, Germany. I really preciate your videos and your presentation! Thanks. I have a problem with an elegant coral. It was doing fine but then I noticed that it had "lost its footing" on one side of its base. I don't know why- my flow is very moderate Another Elegant Coral neighbours has has no problems. Eventually, the coral lost its footing completely and started moving arounf the tanke with the water flow. This happened about 2 weeks ago. The corals evtually settles down at some place but moves again later as the flow changes. The coral seems completely healthy- same size and colour. Any chance it wil create a new base? Thanks for any info! Lorenzo Jordan
Hi Lorenzo, I have the same issue. How did it end up for your elegance coral?
Any updates ?
Can elegance corals be mounted on rock? I always heard sandbed was best but mine is very course.
I've kept them on the rock before, just make sure they don't fall onto something below.
The coloration reminds me of Duncan Corals. My problem is that I absolutely love snails in my tank and tend to lean towards snails rather than crabs. Every crab I have owned causes more damage than good and that is with the ones that they call "reef safe"......
I have 2 Elegance and one is bigger than a basketball. I have every snail in my tank and neither elegance has killed even 1. No dead snails.
Please do acans soon. I love the fact that you are redoing these
The latest one I did on "Acans" was my Micromussa video a few months ago: ruclips.net/video/faPl92__VTk/видео.html
@@tidalgardens wait what the ef word. I thought I seen everything
can a elegance touch another elegance coral because iv another one coming and can only really put next to one I have!
I just got one, but it was a local malaysian (collected withing my country ) elegance not indoensian or aussie. It was mericultured so im unsure will it be like an indonesian or australain 1:18
Hello I'm from Brazil, here the elegance corals available to buy are all cut. I had the opportunity to have 1 whole but the cut ones die in 2 or 3 months, the only apparent reason is the disease ecs anyway it's my favorite coral but I can't keep it like other aquarists to this day I don't know a single one that has an elegance a more than 1 year
What if the shop has similar light?
hey than.... ill be in town July 17-27... anything going on in the reefing community?
Oh nice! There are some things going on, like the TG BBQ event on the 27th (tidalgardensbbq.eventbrite.com). I'll email you.
Put a doser and a tube that auto feeds into near its mouth. 😂😂
Im Indonesian, and i heard that coral exports are kinda banned now, most elegance coral overseas now are aussie elegance coral i suppose
Well, I love elegances but the origin is undisputed because I live in Indonesia
Have you heard about the "Bullet proof" elegance that someone was aquaculturing in Michigan somewhere in some green house? I bought one and I was told Julian Sprung as looking for one.
I haven't seen that, no
Has anyone successfully spawned these corals?
Hello everyone. Why does Elegance Coral start Separating From Skeleton? One of the sides is coming out.
They really eating snails up ? I purchased a elegance yesterday and I have a good amount of snails in my tank 🤦♂️
Will the elegance coral eat my shrimp?
