Kenya Tree Shrivelled

[Ch1ef_Reef]

Hey everyone,

I added a nice green Kenya Tree to my 20 gallon tank, one of two corals I have added today alongside a Toadstool.

The coral has shrivelled right back into the frag that it’s on, and hasn’t fully extended since placing it first in my tank six hours ago.

A moment ago it extended a little bit, but has once again gone right back and shrivelled up.

Has anyone that has added a Kenya Tree to their tank experienced this? I can’t find anything online about a Kenya Tree extending then shrinking back and forth.

The toadstool meanwhile has extended fully and looks happy.

Yes, it happens all the time. Kenya Trees need to acclimate to your lighting and tank conditions, and when it does, it'll take off. As long as your salinity isn't way off, it'll be fine. I had to move mine two days ago, as it was taking up far too much room in the Evo, and it's been pouting ever since.

They also do this for several days when they shed, so don't be surprised.

Don't worry, they are almost impossible to kill.
