Is this a kenya tree coral?

[Kobkobico]

Hey guys, bought this coral last week and really like it, but realized now it may be a kenya tree.

Is it one, and will it be difficult to keep contained?

Looks like it, they can grow out of hand and spread everywhere, they drop babies off from the mother colony and are super hardy

Sure is! They grow like weeds. I know they are a dime a dozen, but I really like 'em. When I'm up and running I'll have a big one. Reminds me of my olden days in reefing!!!!

Thanks guys. Unfortunate for me, since I really love the way it sways in the flow, but don't want to risk losing control of it. Will probably end up living in a fish quarantine tank I've yet to set up.

If you really like it, there's no reason you shouldn't keep it. It just needs to be pruned back from time to time. Much like GSP. I'm gonna have GSP as well (am going to aim on covering my back glass with it). Now THAT one grows really quickly......

Hi Everyone, I think I have the same problem you are talking about. My EVO 13.5 is a little over a year old and I have 2 pcs of coral that are beautiful but I am nervous are overtaking the tank and hoarding light. Any recommendations? Upgrade tank size....Someone mentioned pruning. I also have some Daisy polyps that I think are going to start strangling zoas. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
