Was told that this is a Kenya tree coral. Can you confirm or deny this statement.

Is it kinda rough to the touch or kinda slimey feeling??

jberd · 05-23-2007, 01:40 AM

I would say a little rough.

luvmylo · 05-23-2007, 01:53 AM

I would say kenya.

Here is why I am asking. This stupid little tree is like a weed. It frags its self all the time. I have about 20 or so frags in my tank growing everywhere. So I took 5 in to the lfs and they gave me 35 dollars. I thought cool I still have 140 dollars still sitting in my tank that I can trade in. Just wanted to make sure that it was a Kenya is all. What is the difference from a Kenya to tree.

lol, your kenya tree is going to be kinda rough to the touch. it could also be lemnalia but if your lfs is buying I would keep selling.

Yep looks like a kenya. I love weeds! Got quite a few corals from xenia and now I have a kenya so double the trades to come. Just keep the fragged so they don't overtake everything. Someday I'd love to set up a frag tank for the pest just to make money off of them and keep them out of the display but I don't have anymore room for tanks.

They are a pretty coral but they can go crazy.

Looks like a Kenya tree to me also, I've got three, two of them are saplings from the first one. What are you feeding those things that you have so many? It sounds like the LFS is giving you a fair price for them.

When I touch my Kenya tree it shrinks up real tiny

It's a Kenya for sure! It will drop babies all the time.

Yes it drops little 1/2 to 3/4" limbs all the time. At least once a week. As for feeding the tanks gets a varied diet but as for the small stuff I change out prawn eggs and cyclops eese ever other day. And yes as soon as you touch it it shrivels.
