Yup, pretty much. Frag em yourself or grab the babies when they pop off themselves. :wink:

mine grows great and doesn;t drop babies at all. i read somewhere they are more likely to drop babies under lower light but not sure on that, i'm still pretty new to corals lol.

I rather love my Kenya. Have an ADG nano tank on my desk and its the show piece in that tank. Lol, Love its simplicity and and gathers a very nice color with my par38 leds. Don't think of as a problem coral either. Frags itself and newbies love to snatch up $5 frags.

Thats one of the nicer Kenyas I've seen. Very nice.

I have found that keeping them In higher light and moderate flow, along with giving them a spot feeding with something like reef chili. Can help keep them from popping off as many babies.

But I got rid of are large one in the last tank move lol

Thanks. Some people ask what it is when they see it. I sorta laugh and say its a basic Kenya and they're surprised.

Looks nicer than picture. Though.

Well I've had mine since a 2 in frag. Turned into a TREE literally ! I've been cutting it outta my tank for years!! It destroys ALOT of my montis and a few other things. Worst impulse buy back then
