Hey everyone!
I bought a big kenya tree from someone on marketplace but I had to lop it off at the base on-site because it was attached to a massive rock. I followed a YouTube vid, used a sharp razor blade, and made a clean slice at the base. Now it’s day 2 and it’s still shriveled up… worried I may have killed it. Does it just take some extra time for corals recently fragged to rebound and look happy again? I also glued it to a frag plug so perhaps that also annoyed it because i glued it while it was shriveled up but now the base is bigger than the frag plug so it’s like restricting it?? I feel like that shouldn’t really matter but I don’t know. It was a first for me!

you can see it right above the big frogspawn

Kenya trees are almost unkillable, just give it some time. It’ll bounce back without any problems
