KENYA TREE SHRIVELING

[vcnt]

I was taking out a crab i suspect to be a pest and touched the kenya tree and now it looks like this? did i kill my coral?

Brushing up against a coral may cause it to close up for a bit but will not harm it. Unless your hands had something on them like oil or lotion that causes toxic situation in your tank.

I don’t think it’s possible to kill a Kenya Tree. If you did kill it, let us all know how you did it. The stuff is like a weed.

Tank looks very new and these coral need flow and its in an area that may not be getting enough flow. Additionally bring white intensity down a tad and assure nitrates are noy highly elevated
