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.

This fragment is also a part of this big tree. It is growing nicely already.

So many fragments by now, hard to tell which one is which. But here it the whole family together

Yesterday I have sold some fragments again. A member from the Zeewater Forum voor Nederland en België, called Bikerdick, wanted to buy the last Red Mushroom fragment and some Kenya Tree fragments.
He bought 4 fragments, leaving me with 7. Since it will be hard to keep trace of them now I’m going to put all 4 in this topic.

One of the Kenya Trees can be found in the left uppercorner of the aquarium. It's a 40 liter aquarium.

Bikerdick posted an update saying he bought a couple of clownfish and a cleaner shrimp. In the pictures the Kenya Tree(s) are visible as is the red mushroom.
