    I moved my kenya last night onto the rock work and when its fully expanded its most likely going to be touching maybe a few yellow polyps, and or teal polyps.

    Is there going to be any negative affect on any of the corals?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    No critical melting type of stinging is likely to go on. My kenya tree does irritate pretty much all my corals (sps, lps) if it is brushing even slightly. It has never done a lot of damage but I do have to cut them back or move frags to keep them from touching. Hopefully it will have no effect on the polyps, if it does they will probably not open fully.

    Scaping nano is sooooo hard.

    Yes it is! I have done it alot, i moved alot of the coral on the rockwork last night, took my 2 hours to move about 3 rocks(Out about 10) and move all corals(Which is about 25) Ill take a picture ans post it later for yall to seee.

    But my kenya is HUGE! About 9" x 6" when fully expanded..I should probably cut him back a little..He is dropping branches fast enough.:-/
