Small photo dump.


I touched the coral. It hates me now.


Red monti cap encrusting on the overflow box.

Blue and green skin digi. I know, it's blurry. You can see the growth nubs here. With the skin colors now formed, I am thinking forest fire?


This was back on april 27th?

Love it ! Wish I had a bigger tank my Kenya tree is trying to take over .-.

I remember back then. It's nice being able to go back and see progress.

But it does need a trimming haha

None of mine need a trim sadly. They need more growth.

Not a sinularia or a nepthia. Hmm what else is there... Can't be japanese.

 

[Goaway]

Edit: Honestly never seen a soft coral like it

Im going to get close ups on polyps tomorrow. If it aint a kenya.... Its not even close to common. Cause I can't find anything else. Polyps aren't of a sinulara or nepy. I didnt try to compare with kenya (capnela)

It is not a kenya tree by name. Only by looks.

Going to get close ups tomorrow.

I just want to say, thank you for noticing~ I am glad I am not alone and I have seen a lot of trachyphyllias. Kept a red for 5-7 years. Memory is gone... This guy, is not folding at all. Perhaps just that happy?
