Elegance Coral

About Elegance Coral

The Elegance coral (Catalaphyllia jardinei) is a showpiece for the sand bed, with a wide, fleshy oral disc and long tentacles finished with coloured tips. It expands to several times the size of its skeleton, so leave generous room around it. Its sting is strong enough to damage neighbouring corals, and it should never rest against rock.

Elegance Coral care at a glance

• Lighting: Low to moderate – 75 to 150 PAR
• Water flow: Low, gentle flow
• Placement: On the sand bed, never wedged into rockwork where the flesh can tear
• Feeding: Target feed small meaty foods once or twice a week
• Care level: Moderate

For long-term health keep the water stable: 24 to 26°C, salinity 1.025, alkalinity 8 to 11 dKH, calcium 400 to 450 ppm and magnesium around 1,300 ppm. Start new arrivals lower in the tank and move them up over a couple of weeks so they adjust to your lighting.
