    My kenya tree,which i got a couple weeks ago has been shriveled up and not opening since the day i got him,he looked fine in my friends tank b4 she gave it to me,I also bought a oc clown baby and a blue velvet damsel the same day.I've been suspicious of the damsel as i seen him peck at it a couple times(i figured there was just a piece of food he was after)but today i caught him,he swam up,stalked the kenya,grabbed a limb and tried his best to rip him off the rock!! Needless to say,he was banished to my 15 gallon with my large clarki clown.Kinda funny now,as the clarki is letting the velvet know who's tank it is!! Funny how things turn around like that.But within 1/2 hr,the kenya is fully expanded,open and happy!!:p

    Aw man. The damsel is gone already? lol I really like the look of that fish. But atleast the kenya tree is going strong again. That coral will take off on you really fast. Be prepared to be fragging really soon!

    I still have him,he just got put in permenent time out!!Now he's getting bullied by my clarki clown. LOL, I've had kenya b4 and i kinda like em,but yeah i keep them trimmed often and scoop up any babies that drop,and if i can't sell the frags on craigs in a couple days,i'll usually just pitch it.I like the waving motion of kenya,plus there garbage eaters,since i don't have a fuge (yet)
