Kenya tree removal

[Scampy]

I have a couple trees in my nano that are just to big for my liking. They are pinching off frags left and right. I want to keep a couple small ones and remove the large ones. I dont want to take out the rock and was wondering if they can just be peeled off at the base or do they "root" into the rock and just grow back?

You can peel them off, but you also might want to take a small brush and hit it on the spot where they came off. If there is any of it left, it usually grows back.

I had the same problem, I tried to remove them and give them away to some friends of mine that are new to the hobby I ended up somehow increasing the total number of the coral throughout the tank. The little remnants that remain spread, attached, grew back in greater strenth.

peel them off from the rock slowly and completely... If any peice of these float catch them... Kenya trees auto frag, the limbs fall and grow naturally so keep up on pulling the hanging limbs off and out of your tank and you should be able to keep them at bay...

Try brushing kalk paste onto any remnants once you've cut the pieces off of rocks. That should do the trick.
