Care Requirements:
Lighting: Low to moderate (PAR 50-150). Adapts well to different lighting conditions.
Flow: Moderate to strong. Prefers good water movement to help with nutrient exchange and shedding.
Placement: Lower to middle areas of the tank, allowing space for expansion and growth.
Water Parameters:
Temperature: 76-80°F (24-27°C)
Salinity: 1.025 SG (35 PPT)
pH: 8.1-8.4
Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH
Feeding & Nutrition:
Primarily relies on photosynthesis but benefits from occasional feedings of phytoplankton and dissolved organics in the water column.
Compatibility & Challenges:
Peaceful coral but can spread quickly, sometimes requiring manual pruning.
May release toxins (allelopathy) that can affect nearby corals—use carbon filtration to reduce impact.
Naturally sheds tissue to remove waste and promote new growth.
Final Tips:
Provide moderate to strong flow, allow room for growth, and monitor for overgrowth. With proper care, Kenya Tree Coral is a low-maintenance, fast-growing coral that adds movement and natural beauty to any reef tank!
