Elegance coral question

untilthen · 01-20-2009, 02:10 PM

Are 2 65 watt pc lights in a 20 gallon long sufficent enough to keep an elegance coral?

Let me know I am interested in one and they look great

I am not so sure on the lighting but I can tell you that they are very difficult corals to keep long term. Do some searches on them and you will find that there are many challenges and most do not live very long in captivity.

"elegance coral disease" is what kills about 90% of them in captivity. But I hear you have better luck with captive bred frags.
