These infections can move very rapidly not only in Elegance corals but in many corals. iodine supplements, while not a cure all, can help to prevent these infections. You said that your Elegance looked fine for almost a month. If it were a lighting issue the coral would show its displeasure in a day or two.
That is a good observation. It would be easy to attribute death to the "unknown elegance syndrome" while its actually from a bacterial infection resulting from an injury.
