littlenano Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 My Kenya tree looks like it is losing it's skin and my xenia is sucked down tiny and sickly looking. I took my water in and had it tested they said it was good. Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce00 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ive had Kenya tree coral look really bad for a few days. Nothing seems to bother it, hardiest coral I’ve ever owned. I wouldn’t worry about it. Dustin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 They are hard to kill but I have seen it done. I won’t mention any names.😀 If water quality is good, I probably wouldn’t worry too much. Besides there are plenty of people who can get you more. I know for me , the Kenya tree and Xenia wouldn’t do as well when the water got really cold in the winter (no heater on that particular tank) but that shouldn’t be an issue in the summer. If they were near each other , corals will release toxins to nearby corals. Honestly in a crowded tank that’s how I end up losing most of my corals.

Sailingeric Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Mine did that for about a week about a month ago. It came back bigger and dropped some branches. I think it is how it grows and reproduces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeardUp Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I have had them do that before and I would not really worry. If they fail to stand up, I would remove them though. They are super resilient though. I have a Kenya tree that just appeared in the last couple of months. I have not had any in 2+ years and not added anything new in almost as long. It does seem they like their water a little dirty. Dont worry, if your Kenya dies you can have mine, Its stinging another coral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisriverfisherman Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I remember mine doing this when I first got in the hobby. I think that @Sailingeric is right about that this is how it reproduces as I remember it sprouting up in a couple of spots in my tank after it did this. I wouldn't worry to much about it if your water is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
