Palys killed Kenya Tree??

[97wing]

I have a small frag of Kenya Tree about three inches tall. Overnight, one of my snails broke the frag loose and it fell on top of my small group of People Eater Palys. I didn't find it until morning. Now my Tree is about 1" tall and has white edges.
Is the tree a lost cause? It has not improved in three days now.

No the tree shrivels up when that happens. Put it somewhere where is can attach again and it will bounce back.

Kenya trees are almost as hardy as aiptasia, I'm sure it will be fine.

most soft corals such as kenya tree will do fine even if sting by zoas or polys. it will do fine once it is remove from the polys.

Well it went all the way down to a bump on the rock, but now it is about 1" tall and looking good again.

just the other day there was some one asking what to do about a tank being over run by Kenya trees.

They don't spread quite a prolifically as aiptasia and are much easier to remove, you can just grab hold of the base and peel them off the rock and either make frags out of them or toss them.
