Lost Coral!

D_ivan24 · 01/15/2013, 01:36 AM

While trying to catch my damsels in my 55 gallon, i lost my kenya tree frag. I looked everywhere and can not find it. Might be under the substrate. Should I move the sand around and look for it, or leave it like that and hopefully the substrate will take care of the dead coral??

kenyas are pretty strong corals that survive almost anything!!! I'm sure it will pop up.. I wouldn't panic too much (not saying you are) Kenyas to some are considered a nuisance because they grow sooo darn fast and take over pretty quickly.

Situations like these are when an extra powerhead comes in handy. You can use it to flush things out of the nooks & crannies of a reef tank.

If I could be so lucky to lose my kenya tree. lol

They are pretty strong coral, and like was already said, it will probably show up.
