I have no idea if a coral can pick up zooxanthellae from the water column or if they are all vertically transmitted from parent to offspring in the egg/larvae somehow. However, in James Fatheree's...

As for nutrients, I recall it still having some nitrates and phosphates, definitely enough to make hair algae grow. This was about ten years ago, I don't recall what the parameters were, but I seem...

Actually those two elegance corals came from my LFS. The smaller one had been in their show tank for about a year but hadn't grown until I acquired it. They frequently get ones that are large and...
