Can you tell me what you know about a Kenya Tree

This is why I asked for a pic...I was VERY suspicious that it was a Dendronepthya. It definately looks like one to me too. Good luck with it...you'll be fighting an uphill battle, and you will likely pollute your tank trying to feed it. Watch for algae blooms in your tank.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH That's it im taking back. Everything in my tank is doing great and I don't want to mess it up. Also if Dendros are so impossible to keep they should not be purchased and taken out of the ocean. (Unless you know what your doing and have a specific set-up.) Thank you everyone for the help and proper ID's. Next time I will make sure I know what I'm buying! regardless of what they say it is.

A PINK DENDRO? HOW? What do you feed it. Mines actually not a kenya tree as I was told as no hot pink trees exist.

The original one grew quite large....then the top branches actaully break off or spin off....and then land somewhere else and grow.....its quite crazy.
Feed them fish poop......lol....I use a turkey baster about 2-3 times a week and blow off the rocks and accumulation piles......then on the last one for that week I do a 10% water change and filter change......

Once a week(when I remember) I feed tank with Coral Frenzy

Oh...I dont know if its a Pink Dendro......

There are lots of corals and fish that (I believe) should not be taken from the ocean due to nearly impossible requirments, but they still are.

It's sad but true.
