WYSIWYG Coral
The coral pictured is the exact specimen you will receive—guaranteed. Every WYSIWYG coral is photographed individually, then carefully conditioned and monitored until shipment.
Because it remains alive and growing in our system, its size and shape may naturally develop after the photograph is taken. While it waits for its new home, we carefully maintain stable conditions to keep its coloration as true to the photograph as possible.

How to acclimate Purple-Tipped Elegance Coral
- Inspect the bag and coral on arrival. Photograph any shipping concern before opening the bag, then follow the store's live-arrival instructions.
- Match temperature, inspect the coral under white light, and use a coral dip that is appropriate for the coral group. Do not add shipping water to the display.
- Begin below the final light intensity for the first several days. Move or raise intensity gradually while watching tissue and polyp response.
Purple-Tipped Elegance Coral care questions
Where should I place Purple-Tipped Elegance Coral?
Start at Lower to middle reef. Leave room for growth and move the coral only after observing its response to the current position.
How much flow does Purple-Tipped Elegance Coral need?
Use Low to moderate flow. The goal is steady gas exchange and debris removal without folded tissue, exposed skeleton, or polyps held in one direction.
Should I feed Purple-Tipped Elegance Coral?
Recommended frequency: Optional, up to weekly. Feed only when the coral shows a response, use appropriately sized food, and remove uneaten food before it irritates the tissue.
