Kenya Tree Coral

The Kenya Tree Coral (Capnella sp.) is a classic soft leather coral that closely resembles an underwater tree, complete with a thick 'trunk' and branch-like structures that give it a fluffy appearance. It is exceptionally forgiving of fluctuating water parameters, low light, and varying flow, making it nearly bulletproof for beginners. Unlike many corals, it relies heavily on absorbing dissolved organic material from the water alongside photosynthesis. It is notorious for dropping its branches—a natural method of propagation. These dropped branches quickly attach to new rocks, allowing it to rapidly populate a marine aquarium.
