elegance coral for sure, do some reading on them, they tend to be very difficult to keep. so the more research you do , the more prepared you'll be to take care of it :)

An excellent purchase for you before you buy any corals would be this book:

http://www.marinedepot.com/PocketExpert_Guide_Marine_Invertebrates_by_Ronald_L._Shimek_Ph.D_Saltwater_Aquarium_Books-House_Brand-BKPGMI-FIBKSW-vi.html

Wonderful book to take with you when you order corals, so you know what to expect and how to take care of them if you do buy something.

thats a very nice elegance. Make sure your tank is ready for it. I hope you didn't go and buy it without doing the proper checks

Yeah...Good luck as you'll want to keep some good params to keep it alive. If this was a first coral you might trade it in until you learn a bit more;)

[fish_head]

thanks for the replies guys

Yeh I'm not totally at a loss in caring for aquatic inhabitants haha

I know what the water chemistry should be and all the scientific sort of stuff but I've still yet to learn about different corals including their names and specific requirements etc. All I've ever had is freshwater!

Well after following some of the links you guys sent me I moved the coral to the bottom of the tank and embedded it in the substrate where there is low-med flow as it should be positioned and not on the rockwork in the middle of the tank where there is medium-high flow where i had it before:P

see you learn something every day:)

Looks like an Aussie Elegance which isn't as hard to care for as others. Good luck
