Kenya Tree. HELP NEEDED

[scubachris]

Ok I bought a kenya Tree on thursday. Brought it home, put it in the tank and 3 hours later it was open and doing great. Good on Friday. Sat morning it was all shrunken and pulled in. I figured it was because of the lights being off for the night, but it never open back up. Not sat or today. Any ideas? How would I know if its dead? I also thought it might be a flow problem so I moved it to a better flow area, and nothing. Water tests great and my xenia and GSP is doing fine.

my second Kenya Tree died out of no where. i had it for a month and it was doing great until one day it was pale and was droopy.

What kind of light and what kind of flow? Any corals or inverts touching it? Any fish or inverts picking at it?
Kenya trees are very hardy corals, without a drastic problem in your tank it will not die quickly.

I agree. My kenya sits right under my metal halide and basically sits on top of my cabbage coral. I have found that when I moved mine into an area of heavier flow, it looked incredibly better though.
