Grew from nothing, what is this?

[Thejester]

My tank is 5 months old. I didn’t buy this, I just noticed a tiny orange flowery looking thing and just left it alone because I thought it looked neat, it eventually grew into this.
Anyone know what it is, I’ve tried looking it up, but where I am new to the hobby, I don’t know exactly what to look for. Thanks in advance.

Looks to be capnella, aka Kenya tree.
Also, this should be in the soft coral section, not fish.

Okay sorry, my first post. Also, some what new to forums, so I don’t really know etiquette yet.
How do I change it to where it needs to be?

No worries about it being with the fish threads. Welcome to R2R! That's quite a cool find :)

Welcome! Fun getting a nice hitchhiker!

No worries and welcome! It's great to get freebies, but be aware, capnella likes to spread its wings and soon you'll have plenty to share with all of your friends.

might be cespitularia, my kenya tree doesn't have long tips like that

Beautiful! Have fun watching it grow. It will have some nice sway in your water flow.

Wow, thank you all for all the warm welcomes! I’m having fun with it. My kids and I like watching all of the changes throughout the weeks.
