Ultra Bright Pink Tip Elegance

Pink Tip Elegance Coral

Transform Your Tank with a Living Centerpiece Worth Noticing

Looking for a showstopper that earns every glance... The Pink Tip Elegance (Catalaphyllia jardinei) is one of the most visually dramatic LPS corals available in the hobby — and this Ultra Bright variant takes things to another level entirely. Vivid magenta-tipped tentacles with a luminous green or cream body create a contrast that draws the eye from across the room. Ethically sourced and hand-selected for exceptional color saturation, this is not the washed-out elegance you'll find elsewhere.

Elegance corals are notorious for their sweeping, anemone-like presence — tentacles can extend several inches beyond the skeleton during feeding or peak flow conditions, giving your reef tank a sense of movement and life that few other specimens deliver. This species rewards patient, attentive aquarists who dial in stable water chemistry; once settled, it becomes a long-lived crown jewel of any marine aquarium. Some hobbyists even find that small clownlike species (gobies, for instance) will host in its tentacles, adding another layer of natural behavior to enjoy.
