dying kenya tree coral?

[sirjames]

hi, i received my kenya tree coral 2 days ago, but it arrived 2 days late, got it 2nd day instead of next day (fedex's fault). The coral came out of the bag limped and it didn't look too good. Nothing has changed since, should i be worried? How do you know if its dead or dying. Water conditions are fine. Tank is under 130w of pc. Other corals include mushrooms and star polyp. Everything else is fine and opened.

Due to shipping delays it is likely suffering from stress...best you could do now is provide adaquate conditions for it as though it was a healthy coral and hope for the best. With a touch of luck...proper conditions...and a stable system it may recover. Best of luck.

My Kenya looked a little rough for about 3 days after I put it into my tank but bounced back after that and I got it from my LFS. I think these guys tend to close up and shrink until they feel comfortable again. Incidently I have two little trees starting to grow from damaged branches during transit that broke loose.
Give it some time this fellows are pretty tough.
