Kenya Tree question

[mrjohnreed]

I have 2 Kenya Trees in my tank right now. One is fully open and happy. The smaller of the 2 which is on the left side of the tank was looking happy and then today not so much. There is the possibility that a fish or a snails in the tank brushed up against it. Maybe it's not in a location that it's going to remain happy. All parameters are good to go as the rest of my corals are all doing well. I have attached some pics to see if this is just apart of their behavior or should I look at moving it to another location. With either higher flow or lower flow. Thanks for all the answers.

Fish swiping a coral, for sure, very frequently.
Temporary in most cases…

Sometimes they just droop or close up. I have a handful of stalks growing next to each other. Most of the time they look beautiful, but pretty frequently one (not always the same one) will shrivel up or droop for a few hours or even a day. Then that one goes back to looking great, and a few days later, some other stalk will shrink up. Maybe it's a fish irritating one, but who knows. Bottom line, it's not unusual for one to look great and another one to look terrible .

They do that............just leave it alone....if it doesn't "come back" move it to sand bed, and then every other day, bring up....also, they dont like direct high flow.....

Mine did that too. It would rebound, but the first couple of times, it worried me.

Yeah, ya got that right! You can always depend on Kenya Trees. I'll have a few big ones when my 203 goes up. Pulsating Xenia too. I dig the softies, man.
