Kenya tree dropping a branch

[Court_Appointed_Hypeman]

My kenya tree is dropping its first branch, its barely hanging on.

I don't really want to wait and let it get shredded by a powerhead or inadvertently sting soemthing else.

Should I pluck it? Or wait?

I leave the branches alone They typically settle in someplace and I just let them grow there. Alternatively, you can place it where you want and let it attach there.

Up to you, but trust me, this will be the first of many. They grow and reproduce like weeds.

What is the risk of non nem gayrded powerheads shredding it and destroying my tank? That's the biggest thing I am worried about.

Agree. If you see it, grab it and throw it away. Many that you won’t see will spread in your tank. If you don’t keep up with them, you can get overrun.

They're quite easy to pull off at this point. Think like a very very ripe fruit. I would gently tug it off (it will be very easy). and then tuck it where you want. So it doesn't get stuck somewhere you don't want.

The risk of them causing much harm if they went through a powerhead would depend on your water volume but the risk is likely very low even if that happened.

I don’t know where your powerheads are in relation to the coral. But the pieces that I’ve seen fall off tend to sink to the sand bed. That said, if it makes you nervous pull them out as you desire.
