Check to see if anything is irritating them perhaps underneath. Try a low flow low light area and leave it there for a few days.

I have a bad habit of always moving things around. It’s best to just find a spot for them and leave them to acclimate before moving them to a more permanent spot.

I don’t see anything that could be aggravating them they are in a low to medium flow he likes the light so that why he comes out sometimes

Since it’s new I would just leave them be for a few days. They look fine.

It looks like a Kenya Tree coral, but i can't zoom in on it with my phones right now.

Ahhhhh ok I think I found my mistake you said avoid moving them around to be honest it was very happy when we got it but then the next day it closed up so I moved it and it seemed to do no better then I moved it back

Oh man it could be ! I was trying to avoid having Kenya trees........is the green morph rare ? It’s quite pricey for something that grows so easily.

Greatdane · Dec 23, 2019

I’m relived to hear that you think they look great i hope they come out in the future

Greatdane · Dec 23, 2019

Yes, kenya tree corals come in green. I don't know the rarity of it, though. Just keep it trimmed... but if others start sprouting up elsewhere, you might have to take some drastic measures to rid your tank of it. I personally like the look of them.
