IMO, Elegance is one of those corals best left in the ocean. However, you have it! Now, let's deal with it. It will do best in low flow, low to moderate lighting. Imbed the cone base in your sandbed. (This is how it is typically found in nature) Water parameters must be pristine with CALC at or near 450.

It is not uncommon for the elegance to withdraw tentacles when stressed. Ensure the above criteria has been met and leave it alone for a couple of days. Mine did the same thing when transferred to my tank. It is doing well, now. Best of luck and have patience.

If in a couple to a few days you see no improvement, please hit us up again.
