Birdsnest Coral
I have a Birdsnest Coral that has always been really healthy. You can see in the attached photo that the Australian Acanthastrea is nice and healthy next to it. Recently it has started to get green algae on it and it is looking pretty bad. Let me know if anyone out there has a suggestion on how to help it get healthy.

You're welcome.
Birdsnests are easy to take care of until they start getting bigger. They really need a good strong current passing through along with good lighting to get life support towards the middle. Once they get large they often need chopping up or they will often die from the inside out.
