Elegance Coral

The Elegance Coral (Catalaphyllia jardinei) is a magnificent, show-stopping LPS coral. It features a large, calcified skeletal base from which a massive, fleshy oral disc expands, adorned with long, flowing tentacles that often possess bright pink or purple tips. In nature, Elegance Corals bury their cone-shaped skeletons deep in muddy or sandy seabeds. Thus, in the home aquarium, they must be situated directly on a soft sand bed with moderate lighting and very gentle flow so their heavy flesh does not tear against their own skeleton. They have a powerful sting and should be given a wide perimeter to avoid harming nearby corals.
