    I agree with everything Tangster said but I wanted to re-iterate this point.

    get it off of the plastic. That could be what is killing your elegance. It may just be touching the skeleton but it will still stress the coral. I also agree with tangster in the fact that you should never touch the flesh ANYWHERE!

    I agree that the flesh should never touch anything including LR. I have mine in the pvc so it stands or else it would be on its side.

    I just bury my elegance in the sand and let him be. When I feed him once every month or so I do with with a set of stainless steel forceps so my hand doesn't touch it. PVC is nice at the LFS but I wouldn't keep it in one at home.

    I only have about 1/4 - 1/2 inch of sand thats why he is in pvc. He seems to be looking better today.
