I had the elegance for almost a month before it died. It looked fine, then I came home one day to find it a mass of goo.

What you are describing sounds like a fast moving infection, not light exposure. These animals can be injured very easily opening up a sight for infection. 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.
