Elegance Coral (Catalaphyllia jardinei)
Lighting Requirements: Medium
Water Flow: Medium
Care Level: Advanced
Placement: Middle to Lower Levels
Temperament: Peaceful to Mildly Aggressive
Elegance Coral is highly prized for its dramatic, flowing polyps and striking color variations, which can range from greens and blues to pinks and purples. The coral’s long, graceful tentacles extend from a central base, giving it an elegant, flower-like appearance. This beautiful LPS coral is a showstopper in any reef aquarium, creating a stunning visual effect as it gently sways with water movement.
Elegance Coral does best under medium lighting and medium water flow, which helps to keep its polyps extended and clean of detritus. While it primarily relies on photosynthesis through its symbiotic zooxanthellae, it will benefit from occasional feedings of small plankton or coral foods to support its health and enhance its colors, especially in tanks with lower nutrient levels.
Though peaceful, Elegance Coral should be given ample space, as it can extend its tentacles that may sting nearby corals. Proper placement and water stability are crucial to keeping this coral healthy and vibrant in your reef tank.

How We Photograph Our Corals
- Every WYSIWYG photo is taken in our systems with consistent lighting and a custom white balance.
- Our goal is simple: show the coral as it looks in a properly lit reef — not overly edited or exaggerated.
Our Camera + Lens
- Camera: Sony a7 IV R (mirrorless)
- Lens: Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS
- Macro glass lets us capture fine details like texture, polyp extension, and subtle color shifts without getting too close.
Lighting We Shoot Under
- Primary: EcoTech Radion XR30 Blue
- Supplement: ReefBrite XHO
- Our Radion “photo” mix:
100% Violet
100% UV
100% Deep Blue
65% Blue
Color Accuracy
- We use a custom white balance so the photo matches what you’ll see under a clean, blue-leaning reef spectrum.
- Corals can look different tank-to-tank based on nutrients, spectrum, and flow — but we aim for honest, repeatable photos you can trust.
