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.

Origin and the story so far
This frag is one of the many I had started on June 22. Here is an early overview


Now after organizing it all this frag is now known as 1.5, the second from the right. Here in a couple of pictures made July 6.


And couple of days later after the latest rebuild on July 16.
