Hey guys, wondering if someone can tell me the exact name of the coral?

I bought it from the LFS and they told me it was a moderately easy care level and it required relatively strong lighting.

It seems to be drooping over, not sure why? Is this normal for this type of coral?

kenya tree, it does not require strong lighting

Dropping branches is normal. It is going to be all over your tank soon enough.

Okay thank you.

Are they very dominant, what I mean by that is if I add more corals to my tank, are they going to over dominate them?

Depends on the coral. They can overgrow other softies and polyps but LPS will win everytime. I wouldn't keep it in an sps tank.

Lol, a truer statement has never been spoken, my LFS won't take anymore frags or branches from me, now I just throw them in the sump, however I would disagree that you can't keep a Kenya Tree in with SPS, my tank is full of them (SPS) & it's never been an issue, even with direct contact, neither coral suffered any damage, now an LPS on the other hand, wins every time.
