Anyone selling?
You do know that they not easy to keep in captivity? Nearly all of them die. Hopefully you're lucky
Thanks Tobes, after some reading on the net I was under the impression that they are hardy coral!
There was a thread recently where it was discussed why they die so quickly. Something to do with a certain disease. I bought a perfectly healthy one long time ago, no broken skin, pigments looked healthy, water parameters was spot on according to Elos test kits. It lasted a week or two and then suddenly deteriorated and died
There was nothing in the tank that could've hurt it, no crabs or angels, nothing.

Don't always believe what you read on the net - make sure it's a reputable source
I've got Anthony Calfo's book of coral propagation and even he discourages reefers to NOT import elegance corals cause of there poor survival rate.
If u can find someone who gas had it for a couple of years in their own tank you will probably be ok.
To give u an idea of how easy they used to be to keep is that people used to by them as aptasia control...pick them up and place their flesh to the aptasia...that's also how agro they are...a coral that kills aptasia
I tried my hand at one...had it a month it was looking goof and healthy then just died over night for no reason.
