Capnella imbricata (Kenya Tree Coral)

QUICK STATS
The Kenya Tree Coral, also referred to as a Cauliflower Soft Coral, Nephthea, or Nephthya, is similar to the members of both the Litophytonand Nephthea genera. It lives in a wide range of the Indo-Pacific. It has a thick trunk, like a tree, and many branches giving it an arboreal appearance.
It is not normally considered a threat to hard corals, but may itself be disturbed by their presence. The Kenya Tree Coral relies less on the symbiotic algae within it, and depends more on obtaining outside food. Microplankton, marine snow, and dissolved materials should make up the bulk of its diet.

For this method I got 2 rocks that I put some rubber band around. Made sure on part wasn’t to firm and shoved the trunk of the Kenya Tree underneath it.

Location
I decided to make a map of which is located where, for tracebility. This one is now known as 1.2, the one on the left on the top shelf, hidden behind the pump.
Here a picture after cleaning on July 16.
