What’s wrong with Kenya tree?

I have a lot of Kenya tree in tank and just kinda noticed this is it fragging it self? The rest of the Kenya in tank look okay

Mine does the same thing every now and then. Don't know if they are supposed to do that but mine is fine and I have some extra frags to trade everytime he drops one.

Looks ok. They do drop branchlets. I wouldn’t worry

Yeah my Kenya tree used to shrivel up from time to time but always bounced back. I also found a random tree growing behind my rockwork from when it apparently dropped a branch.

Yes that’s normal behavior. I have a very large one and that’s normal. Mine sometimes sheds a mucas film that looks like stringy webbing also drops little pieces of branches that turn a bluish color and those ones don’t survive but the other branches that stay a nice color survive. It’s a way of shedding some of it to protect itself at least from what I’ve noticed in my tank. My Kenya tree is 7 inches tall and about 8 inches on the branches. I just made a new post if you want to view my tree and success with it.

Oh and yes it shrivels up whenever it wants mostly at night when it sleeps or if something’s making it uncomfortable. Normal.

This mint capnella to right hasn’t done much of anything lately. Fingers x. Lol

I agree with what everyone has stated. It does look like it might have been stung by the anemone. Mine gets stung all the time and shrivels up. It then comes right back.
