"Dropping" arms is how they self-prune or self-frag. It's totally normal with Kenyan trees.

you bet keep them as frags. in time you could trade them for something else you want or sell them! enjoy!

then they sprout out EVERYWHERE and you wonder how you are going to get rid of them....... keep them under control

My Kenya drops about 5-10 a month. I placed it in a flow area so all droppy's end up in a semi calm corner for collection each month for beg borrow or trade.

Kenya trees are one of the easiest corals to frag. Just leave some coral rubble lying around the base of the Kenya tree and within a short period of time you will have more frags than you can find people who want them.

I've thrown lots of them out cause I had too many and no one wanted them.
