I've seen tons of other Kenya trees, they usually grow out like a bush but my mine is growing reallllly tall. Not as much branching out either, maybe it's my lighting or maybe it's the flow, I have no idea what's happening with it but I'd say it's almost 3 months old and bought it as a tiny tiny frag for about 10$.

so yeah it seems happy and healthy but it just doesn't seem to be branching out. Am I doing this wrong?! Haha thanks whoever reads and replies! Cheers
 
Higher lighting will make it shorter and bushier. You can also feed it small items like Cyclop-Eeze if you want it to grow faster.
 
Too small for the polyps to noticeably capture IME. Rotifeast and freshly hatched brine shrimp are other great foods for them. Freeze dried foods like Reef Chili or Roids would probably also work well but I haven't used them.

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
