    elegance corals are to nice in my opinion to take a chance throwing it next to aiptasia carpet anemones...Id take the aiptasia over a carpet! had a carpet once till it ate my mandarin that i spent countless hours training it on prepared foods. Since then i banned that thing from my reef! It was a beginners mistake awhile back :)

    Yes, I got a really pleasant feeling when I killed it by smearing kalk paste all over it :D

    Thank you for that correction.. Someone once told me that it was a xenia, being new to this I believed them... So do you trim them the same way as the xenia by just clipping off the top..?

    Yep, same way. Here's an example of how tough this stuff is.

    I don't use the bridal mesh when I frag mine. Tangsters example of placing them into a cup with rock rubble is the way to go. Your kenya tree can be fragged the same way.
