Kenya Tree Profile

Kenya Tree Coral (Capnella spp.) is a hardy and adaptable soft coral known for its tree-like structure and ease of care, making it a popular choice for beginner and experienced aquarists alike. Originating from the reefs of the Indo-Pacific, this coral features flexible, branching stalks that can vary in color from brown and pink to green. Unlike stony corals, Kenya Tree Coral does not have a hard skeleton and sways gently with the water current, adding a dynamic and natural look to the aquarium.

This coral thrives in a variety of lighting conditions, from moderate to high, and prefers stable water parameters. It can grow relatively quickly and may require regular pruning to prevent it from overshadowing other corals. Kenya Tree Coral absorbs nutrients directly from the water, benefiting from occasional feedings of phytoplankton and other dissolved organic materials. Its resilience and striking appearance make it an excellent choice for adding movement and visual interest to a marine tank.
