I really like mine, they are very easy to keep, grow well, and take lower light.

Tim, your tree is just sick gorgeous and we don't want to hear about it again unless you plan on making 20,000 frags!

I have two. They seem to do great. Pretty, and easy to care for.

From what i have been told is you will need to strap it to a rock that you want it to grow on with a rubber band will work. Then it will grow then start to spread like crazy!!!
Here is a pic of my Kenya Tree Coral
This is an old pic but still looks the same

They like to be fed more than anything else.
Not sure about how much light they need...or what is ideal for good growth.

"The Kenya Tree Coral, also referred to as a Cauliflower Soft Coral, Nephthea, or Nephthya, is similar to the members of both the Litophytonand Nephthea genera. It lives in a wide range of the Indo-Pacific. It has a thick trunk, like a tree, and many branches giving it an arboreal appearance.
It is not normally considered a threat to hard corals, but may itself be disturbed by their presence. The Kenya Tree Coral relies less on the symbiotic algae within it, and depends more on obtaining outside food. Microplankton, marine snow, and dissolved materials should make up the bulk of its diet." |
