Hartdude Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 How do I propagate? Can I just cut a branch off and put it on another rock? Mine has gotten quite large lately and I would like to "trim" the tree! Link to comment
bladze Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Just cut it with a razor and put it in a hole it will attach to anything itself. Link to comment
Hartdude Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 Kinda what I figured, just wanted to be sure!! Thanks! Link to comment
mheiden Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 it will also frag itself when it feels like it! Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 you can rip it off...dont even need a razor lol Link to comment
Dr. Saltwater Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 That's not the best way for sure ghehe Originally posted by mheiden it will also frag itself when it feels like it! Yep, the Kenya Tree Coral (Capnella imbricata) frags itself. When it grows bigger, it frags so much that you'll regret you fragged it youself. Link to comment
Withers Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 it will also frag itself when it feels like it! thats exactly right. actually it might frag itself too fast for you. i had mine frag itself about 6 times in 2 days. Link to comment
heavensent58 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Ya mine constantly is dropping branches and fragging itself. I have a colt coral thats the same way todd Link to comment
Hartdude Posted October 12, 2004 Author Share Posted October 12, 2004 So... Did I ask how to frag this baby or what? Yesterday I got the scapel out and was ready to frag the tree. Low and behold, as you all have mentioned, there it was! Fragged its self!!:woot: Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 they require low lighting Yes, they are like weeds...they release pieces in to the current and then it grows where it lands. I have to pick them out everyday almost~ Link to comment
NanoReefTexas Posted October 24, 2004 Share Posted October 24, 2004 I saw a white Kenya tree coral that looked real pretty, but I refused to buy it, fearing it might be severely bleached, and I don't know what a bleached coral looks like except from what I have red, that they turn white. Or maybe it was a spagetti leather... In any case, if I bought one of these, surely I would never know if it was bleached if that was its natural color, I am scared to attempt it. I don;t wanna buy something that's unhealthy. I need a non-sales person escort to accompany me to an LFS. Link to comment

MillerLite Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Hey, does anyone want any Capnella (Kenya Tree coral) frags? They are great looking corals. Mine too have fragged four time by itself, and I am up to my a-hole in frags. Instead of destroying them, maybe pass them out to fellow-reefers. That way we can propagate aquacultured corals. I saw Dr.Fostersand Smith selling capnellas for > $40 a piece. What a rip. I have heard though that they dont ship well unless packaged properly. Anyone in DC area want a frag? Local pick-up only. Prefer trade if possible. Great new coral for beginenrs. I can have one for you anyday! Will post a pic if interested. Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 miller... i already have pleanty of kenya tree. Do you have anything else up for trades? Link to comment
Newbie527 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 hey miller high life... do you still have some kenya left? I am in northern balt co... i have metallic green star polyps, green and orange eyed seamat, xenia(plenty but you probably don't want that), some rics but not sure if I will part with those and some nice blue shrooms... aaaa..shrooms. oh and a free 4 stripe damsel...yea!!! that little pain...killed my other fish...back to petco he goes soon...

Newbie527 Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 oh and reeferisexpensive...do you have anything to trade or sell..??? Link to comment
MillerLite Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hey reefer, sorry I didnt respond earlier. Give me a few months to get my act together. I am starting a frag out tank and it will take a little bit longer to cycle. I will then frag out some pieces and take an inventory. I'll be sure ot post to this site again. Newbie527, are your corals ready to frags or are those listed, frags that you wish to trade. I will take anything ready to go. What kind of xenia do you have? Pulsing? Willing to take anything just to get these damn kenya tree(capnella) frags out of my minibow. I have six frags now. The kenya tree keeps dropping branches yet looks healthy as ever. Let me get a picture tomorrow when the lights are on and you can tell me if you are interested. Link to comment
Styxnpicks Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Mine are fraging themselvs in my 10 and its kinda annoying, I believe I read somewhere that they soak up some dissolved nutrients, they are weeds like eveyone says Link to comment
