Marine corals are ethereal beauties that seem beyond the reach of most aquarists. They are often expensive and demanding of both ultrapure water and high intensity lighting.
Kenya Tree Corals are just such a coral. Beginner-friendly, beautiful, and easy to propagate, they are a great first coral for the saltwater hobbyist! Kenya Tree Corals are part of the family Nephtheidae, a group of nearly identical looking corals that fortunately have very similar care requirements.
Generally they are cream to brown in coloration but a pink variety has become extremely popular in the trade. Kenya Tree Corals are one of the most bullet-proof corals you can find. In fact, they sometimes become pests because even if you scrape them away from rocks they can regenerate from a small cluster of leftover cells. Like nearly all corals, Kenya Tree Coral forms a symbiotic relationship with single-celled zooxanthellae microscopic algae that live inside of its own cells.
A symbiotic relationship is where two organisms work together for mutual benefit. In this case, the coral provides a home, light, protection, and nutrients for its algae symbiotes. And in exchange the algae gives the coral some of its sugars, helping it through lean times.
They rely more heavily on feedings and will become stressed if you go too long without supplemental food and keep them in conditions that lack dissolved nutrients.
With their delicate appearance and high status in the marine hobby, corals are often seen as impossible for new aquarists.
Fortunately, Kenya Tree Coral is one of the best corals for beginners to try out! This species is a more aggressive type of coral. It reproduces quickly, stings its neighbors, and even produces toxic molecules that inhibit the growth of other corals, especially stony corals.
Aquariums 30 gallons in size or larger are recommended if you intend on keeping Kenya tree Coral with other species. Also, you have some water buffering capacity to deal with the noxious chemicals it releases.
