I bought some live rock and this little fella came on one and I'm thinking it's a kenya tree. It was all purple and now its losing the purple layer and turning pink. Any body else seen this before?
 
Nice little hitch hiker, it will be sulking and a colour change is normal as they settle and expand, it will probably shed it's skin as well, don't panic!
How much flow is it in?
 
kenya trees are pretty indestructible.
 
Totally normal. It may shed too. But it'll come back. They are nearly indestructible.
 
Welcome! And yeah, that looks like a Kenya tree. As everyone’s saying it’ll shed, and you’ll notice a slimy coating over it. And since it’s in a different tank it’ll definitely change color.
