Help me decide

I'm trading a guy some extra equipment for some coral he's offering wood polyps or Kenya trees for a trade both look nice is there any advantage to one over the other which would you all pick tia

What are wood polyps? IMO, stay far far away from Kenya trees. They grow like weeds, drop little branches that float around and get everywhere in your tank, and are a pain to get rid of.

Well I am guessing yellow polyps, not wood polyps?
Both are pretty invasive and inexpensive around here .. What are you trading him?

10 gallon sump that I made

These are the woods

 

[cmcoker]

Oh, OK. Maybe xenia of some sort.. Either way both of those are highly invasive, they will reproduce and spread around the tank. So pick the one you reallllllllly like, [emoji16]

Lol alright thanks

neither. ask him for something that won't take over your tank.

+1, you should be able to get either one of those for free from another local reefer. At least people around here can't give that kind of stuff away fast enough!

Idk I've got Xenia gsp and green button polyps currently and while they have grown they haven't started expanding and all of those I've read the same thing about maybe I've just gotten lucky so far

Yes, eventually they will take over
