Re: Soft coral problems
Actually Kenyas dont split.They drop branches.
Kenyas will also take spells where they dont look good.At least mine did. Just use a tooth brush to clean the algae out from around the trunk right before you do a water change. Kenyas are one of hardiest corals there is.So its probably just the algae causeing the discoloration.

Re: Soft coral problems
Yote kenyas do split. I had one with two braches attached at the bottom and now its split and two trees. They do drop stuff to make babys but as they get bigger they can split. It took it a bit to split at first there was a chunck holding them together and then it got thinner and thinner till there was two seperate corals.

Re: Soft coral problems
Cool,Learned something new.Mine never did split,but it was dropping limbs at the rate of 7 or 8 a day.Every time I did a water change,it was shrink up for about 2 days,then open up and start spitting out babys.
The last bunch I took to the LFS,there was about 25 or 30.I just gave em away to get rid of em. Current Aquarium(s) Description: 125gal SPS tank in the works Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: 2+ Other Intrests: Hunting,camping,fishing |

Re: Soft coral problems
If the bottom of it looks "diseased" or unhealthy, you can always take a razor blade, cut it off in the middle of the trunk (cut off the unhealthy part) and just stick the rest of the coral in a rock somewhere, it will reattach itself and grow back again. It's pretty much impossible to kill those things...
