Kenya Tree Coral, scientifically known as Capnella imbricata, is a soft coral species that is popular among reef aquarium enthusiasts due to its hardiness and ease of care. It is native to the western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea and is commonly found growing on rocky reefs and coral rubble. The Kenya Tree Coral is a fast-growing coral species that can quickly colonize aquariums with its branching, tree-like structure. Its branches are covered in tiny polyps that are typically green or brown in color but can also range from pink to purple depending on the lighting conditions. It can grow up to 8 inches in height and requires moderate to high water flow and moderate to high lighting. One of the unique features of the Kenya Tree Coral is its ability to shed its branches when it is stressed or disturbed. These discarded branches can then take root in other areas of the aquarium and form new colonies. While this can make the Kenya Tree Coral an effective way to fill in empty spaces in a reef aquarium, it can also become invasive if left unchecked.

Australian Doughnut Coral
Call for PriceThe Australian Doughnut Coral (Acanthophyllia deshayesiana) is a large polyp stony coral native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Great Barrier Reef. It is named for its circular shape and often brightly colored fleshy tissue. The coral has a distinctive appearance due to its large corallites (the skeletal cups that house the polyps) which are separated by pronounced walls. The coral’s polyps extend during the day to feed on zooplankton and retract at night. The Australian Doughnut Coral is relatively hardy and can thrive in a range of lighting and flow conditions, making it a popular choice for reef aquaria. However, it can be sensitive to high levels of nitrates and phosphates, and requires calcium and alkalinity supplementation for optimal growth.
