Kenya Tree.... help.

[kimc]

I recently transferred a rock with a small Kenya Tree from one tank to another. The Kenya Tree has been laying on it's side and now has fallen off the rock. I want to try and save it... How do I get it to reattach?? Thanks for your help!!

place it on the rock and put a rubberband around the base of the coral to the rock.
it might not open up right away. did you acclimate the coral before putting it in a different tank and are the conditions the same in both tanks?

Thanks for your response.... The tank conditions are same.... however I did not acclimate!! and I know better. I will try rubberband now....

If what was already mentioned doesn't work, push a toothpick through the base of the Kenya Tree so the toothpick is sticking out both sides of the stalk.. Then wrap the rubberband around the toothpick. that's what I usually do.

Thanks KD... The rubberband so far has held the Kenya in place... How long should I wait before I remove the rubberband??

I would wait a minimum of a week, but preferably until you can see the coral growing or attached on the LR rubble.
