Aussie Elegance hardiness

I would always recommend an aqua cultured variety if possible. Typically they're got a proven track record of doing well in the home aquarium. In my experience they're pretty hardy; I've always put them in the same group as Duncans. Things can go wrong but with a mature system they always seem to do pretty well. There is (was?) a huge problem with a disease (Elegance Coral Syndrome) that effected Elagance corals from the Indonesia but the Aussie line don't have any where near the risk for that particular issue. Brown Jelly Disease is always a risk for any LPS and I don't believe the aussie elegance species are any more or less susceptible to it.
From what I had read Aussie Elegance corals are fairly hardy as long as you get one that wasn't cut. However I did not know that beforehand and bought one that was cut from a larger piece. It has been doing very well in my tank. I am very much a beginner in the reef keeping side of things so I would consider Aussie Elegance corals easy
I have two aussie’s and I find them fairly easy myself, but my parameters are stable since it is a SPS dominant tank. Also, I added them months after my tank was stable, so I’m sure that plays a big part.
How old is your tank? My last one I ordered was from Diver’s Den and it was very healthy and is doing great.
Oh man, I’m sure you’ll be fine.
