“just curious what did he say is rav elyashivs shitta?”

I can’t say that this is what TorahUmadda’s posek said, but R’ Elyashiv in kovetz teshuvos siman 2 has a five pronged response:

1)The people who claim that they have found the chilazon may yet be proven wrong, just like last time

2)He quotes the Yeshuos Malko that it’s nignaz

3)The Bais Halevi’s objection might apply (i.e. this creature was always around)

4)Machlokes rishonim about adding chemicals which the S”A doesn’t pasken on

5)According to Rashi if it’s not real techeiles it’s a problem of min knaf
