Help what’s wrong with my Kenya tree?

[alexanderthefishlover]

Hello everyone! I had this guy up closer to the light and I’m wondering if that has damaged it! It’s producing a brown gel and has white on it like bleaching?

parameters, tank mate?

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate .3ppm
Salinity 1.027 specific gravity
Alkalinity 10 dKH
Ph 8.2
Phos 1ppm

I don’t know calcium etc I was told it didn’t matter for softies as I use a reef specific salt.

If your setup is one week old, not much is going to live in there. Did you cycle your tank ?

Ok so Kenya tree healed looks great but today I found 2 pieces of it moving across the sand with the water movement?? The polyps? Is that what they are called? They were open and moving! Did it split is that what happened here?

 

[padilla95624]

They will split by dropping branches and reattach somewhere else.

Yes......get ready for more Kenya's then you can handle......

 

[krollins]

I know Kenya trees molt so that might be what is happening.

 

[alexanderthefishlover]

Ok so what the heck…. My Kenya tree is splitting but now has this weird looking pink thing on its rock????

I touched it and it released some whites cloudy stuff….. no smell to its doesn’t smell like it’s rotting…


Anyone? Looks like an alien creature

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

The pink could be coraline or cyano, hard to tell. Take a turkey baster and see if it blows off. I would blow on that coral too, it doesn't look very good, it looks like its melting. Is there any flow in the tank, and what kind of lighting do you have?

 

[alexanderthefishlover]

Yes I have flow all other Kenya’s are growing like crazy this so the only coral with an issue. Yes it keeps loosing pieces since I got it…..

Not algae not cyano it’s attached and mushy and has polyps. Maybe it’s dead flesh?

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

Sorry, but could you circle or point to the area you refer too?
