Kenya Tree Coral is good or bad?

vetteguy53081 · Nov 27, 2018

Kenyi is beautiful, hardy and comes in a few shades of pink/purple. I have a garden of it and currently have 22 1.5" shoots which I am giving away to my club members at our annual Xmas party in two weeks. A few years I could not keep these alive and now, I cant keep them from growing.

I just spent 4 hours trying to remove everything piece of Kenya from my tank. Started with one small one. It split into so many. They are already popping up again. They are very pretty but the worst mistake I've ever put in my tank. I'm possible to remove.

Take those shoots and give them away.......you'll be amazed how many reefing friends you will make and even find some giving you a nice piece of something in return !

I posted them for free on this site first with no takers. I gave them to the LFS after a week.

sorry, don't know how to take good pics. it'll be interesting to see how it does, hopefully it doesn't grow too fast because i didn't give it a ton of room

Buy this lens. Excellent. U will not regret it. Not really expensive. But worth every Penny. I only use the orange lens works excellent.

Here are some before I removed them. This is before they completely took over. I had probably about 50 branches all over. Under rocks even.

I had to remove every rock and cut then scrape the rock as much as I could. They are still growing back from nothing.

Sad to hear that. That's horrible pest coral. Hope mine will not do so.

kristinarenee · Nov 29, 2018

These are the new ones growing back after 2 weeks. I scraped the rocks with a blade after removing them. I don't even know how to get rid of them now. Any suggestions? About 25 or so sprouts.
