I.D. this coral

[d-ster]

I picked up this coral a few weeks ago from one of my lfs. Was wondering if anyone knew what it was. Has gone through Qt and is now happy in my tank.

i have a Kenya just like that one, and about 5 little baby ones from it LOL. they will drop limbs often. be prepared :)

[d-ster]

So dropping limbs is how they propigate? How big can they grow?

[Paintbug]

im sure they have a sexual reproduction as well, but in the tanks the common method of reproduction is asexual, in a Kenya Trees case they drop limbs. most of mine are about 4-5" tall, they may get bigger. mine have not grown taller in about 2-3 months.

[Rob]

yes, this is a type of asexual reproduction called budding, and its common with soft corals, and some stony corals
