Kenya Tree location..?

Zeal · May 21, 2018

Placed my Kenya tree like this... Would there be an issue with it growing like this or should I place it facing up?

No that's isn't the flow bending it like that lol

It should straighten out and grow up. They are pretty soft corals and don't have a skeleton that would keep it bent over like that.

Alright I'll keep an eye out for it. What about blastos?

Blastos are an LPS coral. Placement is usually low, depending on light.

I have mine placed like this... Should I move it?

It's not placed too far up you can see it on the other picture on the left

The placement looks good. I had a Kenya tree in my 90g and I ended up getting rid of it. It grows extremely fast and will overtake your tank if you don’t stay on top of it.

When the time comes ill frag it and take it to my LFS, if they really grow as fast as people say I wouldnt mind honestly trading it for snails or something

i got a kenya in my 30g back in the day and that thing multiplied like crazy.. when i upgraded to my 68g i used the rock from my 30g that had the kenya and i purposely faced it down for no light, since then i move my rocks a bit and that kenya is still alive.. its trying to make a comeback now.. after years of no light.. lol..

i think i even tried to cut if off the rock.. couldnt get it all.. those things will still grow if it has the tiniest lil speck on a rock left over..
