I.D. this coral
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.

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.

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