My Kenyan Tree...

[reefer7891]

dumps like a truck during shedding time. First time owner of this coral. Crazy how skinny it was a month ago when I added my first corals. I know only time before it spreads. But if her offspring are like her I’ll take 5.

Very beautiful! Tip... before you get any other corals, maybe a pack of Emerald Crabs to eat your bubble algae. Then you can pull them before adding corals they sometimes like to mess with. Best wishes.

Once you start getting more corals you may not feel the same way about having extra kenya trees showing up. A kenya tree was my first coral and I now regret it.

Thanks for the tip. I do have a Ruby version of the emerald but I don’t think it’s bubble algae it’s just micro bubbles from my skimmer caught in the cyano.

thankfully the coralline is winning and stripping the algae.

I try to keep it anywhere 8-10. I hear higher levels increase growth but my natural is like 8.
I actually used to dose and run 0 nitrates but I noticed my phosphate going up. Let nitrate get higher to 5 and noticed the phosphate lowering and algae dying off. PH is around 8-8.2.

I bought three a while ago and they haven’t grown much. When I had a tank years ago they grew like mad. I traded many frags to the lfs
