Elegance Coral
Catalaphyllia jardinei
Also known as: catalaphyllia jardinei, elegance coral, ridge coral, LPS
Loading…
Spectacular flowing coral with long tentacles tipped in fluorescent pink, purple, or green — a true centerpiece. Sits on the sand bed. Wild Indo specimens suffered years of mystery 'Elegance Coral Disease'; healthier Australian stock has much better survival. Has a potent sting — keep well away from other corals.

Jaw-dropping movement and color. Worth paying up for a healthy Aussie piece over a cheap Indo one.
⚠️
SWEEPER TENTACLES
Extends long sweeper tentacles, especially at night, that will sting and damage neighboring corals. Maintain at least 6 inches of clearance from all other corals.
🍖
AGGRESSIVE FEEDER
