When I think of a kenya tree, I think of this:
9456

But LiveAquaria is selling this as a kenya tree:
9457

It also has twice the usual price tag of a kenya. Is it something different, or just a matter of polyp extension? I like the stubby one at LiveAquaria, but I'd hate to find out it's just a common kenya weed.

It's just a retracted kenya photo from liveaquaria. You will get the same branchy tree that you find in most tanks. Hope that helps. And yeah their price is ridiculous for a kenya tree.

Wow, that's an old post. How'd you come across that one?

I've seen kenyas retracted and they still didn't have that coloring. The coloring on the stalk reminded me more of a green mumps (FHI?) leather, but the polyps still don't match. If its retracted like you say, that makes a lot more sense.

I want leather corals, but so many look just the same. I decided against ordering online because of pics like this one. Even if its a WYSIWYG photo, the coral can change so much under my lights.
