Need advise - Kenya - Not good.

[Omega]

Just wondering if anyone could help with information about my Kenya Tree. It's been like this for 3 days and I cant figure out what is wrong. The parameters are perfect. Lighting (MH 150 x2) on for 6.5 hour a day. T5 Actinics on for Dawn and dusk. Moon lights all night. 4 Fans 2 blowing in 2 blowing out. Saline @ 1.25. Temp @ 81. Although it did range 8 degrees on sunday. Was at a high of 89. ( Not Good ) That still doesnt explain why its white and dorment?!?! The frag right next to the tree is doing very well just like everything else in the tank. Can anyone help?

At the moment, that Kenya tree looks stressed but fine. Give it a few days more.

p.s. 89 degress did not help

It will be fine in a few days.

It's very common for tree corals to go through a phase where they look like they're dead or dry out and turn a grayish color. In time it will open up and look like the one next to it. Mine use to do that all the time and then open even bigger. This would happen sometime after they dropped off branches.

That's normal, my kenya tree does the same thing, but before you know it, it will start speading fast.

Thank you Guys for your help. I kinda thought it would be ok. Everything else is healthy. The tree didnt seem like it was dead. More like it was just going through a phase. Thanks again. :flower:

Did you always had it under MH? Or did you just upgraded. My Kenia initially didn't like the MH upgrade and looked like that but now is doing fine.

Always had it under MH. The only change was the temp. I guess it's one of those weird things. I never experienced anything like this before.
