kenya tree help

[hunt]

well, my kenya tree was glued to a shell thing, but where i had it, it was touching and attached to a large peice of LR, if i ever want to move it, how can i without hurting it?

LOL...Just rip it off the base....or cut it with scissors or a knife
BELIEVE me....these things are indestructable

seems easy enough, though i prabably wont be removing it any time soon.

Since we are talking about them, do these corals break off and frag themselves? I had a couple branches come off for no reason I could see and now they are attached, upright and growing a couple days later. I'm hoping this is natural because otherwise it means I have something else behaving badly in my tank.

Do they ever...LOL...I have a forrest in my 29G...and I pull a lot out of my 54G and toss them in my refugium and my pencil urchin eats them

These things frag themselves, grow on powerheads, loose in the gravel, on the glass, wherever they want to. I was suggested today, to use some kind of snips and cut a chunk of the rock where it is attached to it I wanted to keep my LR when I get rid of them. I was told they are slimey and hard to get attached to a frag plug. This tank had about 5 of them less than a year ago. I just ripped all the ones off the middle rock, and moved all the loose ones and threw them in back so I could have something different. Thinking of just selling the LR with the Kenya Trees all together and getting some better looking rocks. Wish I had a light in my sump so I could just throw them all in there, until I could sell them and get my tank set up MY way.

Meowzer, leave it to me to be able to kill of these things. I have a frag of kenya tree and it slowly and surely seems to be withering away and dying. My green star polyps and my green mushrooms are doing fine. I am the destroyer of Kenya Tree's... MUAHAHAHAHA!

 

[lilredwuck]

Just wait, it's fragging itself. I ripped a crap ton out, and a bunch of them turned turned dark, withered, and were limp forever. They will spring back up, they are just spitting pieces of themself all over the tank.

 

[kender]

Oh, I am not taking it out of the tank. I pretty much learned the only thing I take out of the tank is a dead fish after my cleaner shrimp pwnd me into thinking he was dead and all I fished out was an exoskeleton. LoL. So either the kenya tree will melt away into nothing or will frag.... but it sure looks pretty pathetic looking. I mean REALLY REALLY sad looking. I should take a pic and show you.

We'll see what happens...
