I thought kenya's dropped branches everywhere? this one has never dropped a baby.

Oh the leathers will split and drop coral. My devils hand has been dropping for about 4 months . Prob right about 15 frags at this point.

You can see all the frags starting a d completed. The bright white is the devils hand fragging itself.

nothing for #2?
and what's the difference between sinularia and nepthia?

Sinularia possesses small bony needles called scierites on the base of the coral whereas nepethea does not have these. Additionally, Nepthea has a bushier polyp and sinulara has a thinner polyp but both have similar growth structures. I have a green nepthia and a green sinularia. Nepthea have always been abrasive to the touch. Sinularia is kind of slimy to the touch.
Bottom pics is Kenyii tree. I have way too much of it
