Hey everyone! My Kenya tree isn't looking to great. Yesterday he look perfect but today he is all shriveled up. Is this bad? All water parameters are fine.

Give it bit and see if it perks up soon. They can close up at times but if it doesn't open up in a few days there may be a problem. It's an extremely hardy coral though.
 
What is your phosphate? I have a little piece and it freaks when it climbs? Just curious because of your gha. But I agree, its hard to kill. Very hard.
 
Hey thanks for the insight, and my phosphate level is 0. (At least it was 4 days ago) and I just did a 25% water change yesterday so I'm assuming still 0. And it perked up later today, not as big but still looked healthy. And the GHA is because of my new light. Thank you both. :)
 
Kenya trees do that from time to time . I wouldn't worry about it much so long as the stalk is firm and maintaining it's color/ density
 
Also just want to throw this out there but Leather Corals do shed like a crustation would do, something leathers will be shriveled for a week at a time then this brown slime coat will come flying off then the leather coral will be 10x bigger than it was before. just how they grow :)
 
Kenya trees are basically a weed, I wouldn't worry about it lol im sure its fine. mine does that from time to time aswell
