ULTRA AUSSIE PINK TIP ELEGANCE

Elegance Coral — Ultra Aussie Pink Tip

Transform Your Tank with a Showpiece Straight from Australian Waters

Looking for a centerpiece that commands attention... The Ultra Aussie Pink Tip Elegance (*Catalaphyllia jardinei*) is one of the most visually dramatic large polyp stony corals available in the hobby today. Sourced from Australian waters, this variant is prized for its exceptionally vivid pink-tipped tentacles that contrast brilliantly against a lush green or teal body — a combination that simply doesn't exist at this intensity in Indo-Pacific specimens. Availability is limited and demand is high, making this a genuine find for the serious reef collector.

Elegance Corals are known for their sweeping, flowing tentacle extension — often reaching 6–12 inches across at full expansion — creating a mesmerizing, almost anemone-like presence on the sandbed. They have a bold, responsive personality: tentacles retract quickly when disturbed and extend dramatically under ideal conditions, giving you daily feedback on your tank's health. For the aquarist willing to dial in stable parameters, this species rewards with growth, movement, and a display-quality aesthetic that few other corals can match.
