What should I look for in elegance coral?

[FishInABarrel]

One of the places I buy fish from just got 3 of these. They are selling them as shallow water elegance coral. Unfortunately the kid working at the time couldn't tell me where they were collected.

I am interested in one but not sure what I should be looking for in a elegance coral.

The ones they have are 3-6". The pic I posted isn't of the actual specimen but I figured someone could use it to help point out things to look for.

They should look nice and full throughout the day. The colors should be vibrant. It should have a healthy apatite. There should be no visible pests like flat worms.

I have been reading the same. Shallow water should have longer tentacles and to make sure the oral disc isn't swollen.
