[coralboy]

my LFS had some corals and they had a 4 inch Kenya tree coral and apirently it fraged itself and the fish department guy didn't know so the fights were off for about 1 day after a the corals were sold and i spotted it so he gave it for free what could i do to help it regain its health thanks?

Welcome to TRT....

Those things are pretty easy to care for. I have a few that will shrivel up for a day or two then have a growth spurt. I wouldn't worry to much about it. It will probably be fine.

First thing to do to help it... punctuation. It'll surely help us pick up on what you're asking. But second, as pointed out, kenya tree will often shrivel up, often due to stress or to "shed", and I imagine it will perk back up in a few days.

Where is it located in the tank? They seem to like medium light and flow.

That's important.

Also when it gets larger, it will frag itself by pinching off branches. Watch out for that later. I would just look at my kenya tree one day and notice that it fragged itself and then I would have to find the newly fragged piece since I didn't want a tank just of kenya trees. Just be on the look out, if they do attach to your live rock, they are fairly easy to rip off.

My 2 kenya trees have dropped 2 branches each in the last couple months. Both trees drop branches on the same day its wierd.

I want a kenya tree so bad but my LFS don't usually EVER carry them. Might have to order one...
