Humm...I don't think so... polyps are nonretractile...(wich is not the case for Cladiella...BTW, I've got Cladielle too and they are quite differents...) Also, this coral reproduce by branchlet dropping... Any idea? Maby a Litophyton?

Humm...Kenya tree... that's exactly what the person were I bought it say to me... But like Colt coral or Finger leather, Kenya tree seems to be a name given to differents coral species... That's why I tried to know the exact species of mine.;-)
