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.

Got a whole bunch of corals and an Urchin from someone who was going to stop with the hobby. One of them was this green Kenya Tree.

Here is the arrival in the bucket with all other corals.


And here shortly after placing.

Cut this rock in half, one part is still here and the other moved to the RSM in this topic
