Thanks guys. Anything I need to know about it? Seems to be doing well so far.

Yes if it stays healthy you will have a ton of them in a short time. They drop bramches and it floats around then sticks to something and starts growing.

So how can I tell the difference between the two? Anyone?

I have them in my tank. I placed my toad stool too close to a soft ball size colony and it burned the toadstool. The kenya tree was rubbing against it and the side it burned was towards the back of the toad stool where I couldn't see. It turned that side black. So I pulled the toad stool away and it healed well. I have another small colony thats intermingled with acans and it doesnt bother the acans. They rub one another and they are fine. IME I would say pay attention to the surrounding corals that the kenya tree is close to and enjoy. You can frag them and they will grow back with in no time. I trade my frags in for saltwater at the LFS. IME using glues do work well. I rubber band them to a frag mount using light pressure and in one week they heal and attach themselves to the frag mount. Thanks.
