Why do Kenya Tree Corals Shed Branches?
My Kenya Tree is droping branches again. It's not a very big coral, fully open it's about 6-7" diameter. Couple months ago it dropped branches for about 2 weeks, I think 10-15 of them. The tree and it's offspring are all doing fine, but now it started droping branches again. I don't really mind, I have close to 20 trees now, but I'm just wondering why they do that. My water seems ok. I don't have complete test kits. but all other corals are doing fine.

Your corals are reproducing that is a good sign that your tank is doing well. I wouldn't worry about it to much unless they all start dying. Tree corals reproduce like crazy and it only take one to have dozens over time
It is just how they reproduce. They drop buds and those buds float around the tank until they find a spot to grow. Coral propagation the natural way. good sign.
