Wow awsome tank.I love the colors that your corals are producing.How long have you had your elegance and is it an aussie one.

I've had both elegence corals for about 6 months. The darker thick tenticle one is of unknown origin, the lighter thin tenticle one is an aussie. I've been pretty tense that if one gets that infection, it will be game over for both, but so far so good. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Awesome I love LPS and especially elegance, I was too afraid to put an elegance in my 20 tho...

What is the pinkish/red one? looks like a bubble, but I haven't seen one that red before...

Sweet nana! yeah, whats the pink bubble thingy? Also, what is the coral in the top left? A LTA? The other corals are a frogspawn and an ancor, correct?

The pink/red thing is a Cynarina Button Coral, the whole thing is one giant polyp, it really likes to puff up like that and looks like bubble coral. Others in that same picture are a frogspawn and a neon tip hammer coral.

Top left of the tank and show in closeup in the 5th picture is a torch coral. It's got really long thin tenticles for a torch.

Lighting is provided by a GLO T5 HO unit with 2 x 24W tubes and a Current USA Nova Extreme T5 HO fixture also with 2 x 24W tubes. Nice low energy with a total of only 98 watts over the tank. This is what they look like:

Stunning! I have been looking for a torch like that. My LFS has one with about 10 heads, but he won't sale any.
