    First Coral

    First addition to my tank.
    A Kenyon Tree Coral
    Can't kick about the price it was free.
    When I get up in the morning it's a small ball but expands to look like this after a hour or so
    with the lights on. Anyone know if this is normal??

    Reef keeping is one of the only endeavors that going slow is actually faster.

    Re: First Coral

    That looks just like my first coral! After awhile it will shed off a small piece of branch to reproduce. I was so excited the first time it did that. I stuck it in a rock crevise so it would attach and blam free coral, what a score. The next thing you know that puppy was shedding off those buggers left and right, ahhhhhh, please stop. Good first coral, you could mow it down w/ a lawnmower and it will come back.
    I know the pieces fit, cause I saw them all in place

    There's always something nice about the first coral.
