Lost my elegance coral, just wanted to share what it looked like when it was thriving - posting a couple of pics.

I've come across chloramphenicol as a commonly used treatment. Found it mentioned in this article from reefs.org.

I think chloramphenicol's the one I've come across most often.

http://www.reefs.org/library/aquarium_n ... 996_1.html

Reading through this, it's a solid resource. E-coral's listed as one that can handle a fresh water dip, which is helpful to know. I'll need to look into the meds mentioned in the article, though - some seem like they'd be tough to get and use at home.
