Bird nest dying !

[nicowboy]

Hi everyone,

I’ve noticed 2 days ago my bird nest is bleaching and this morning I’ve noticed this, would you happen to know what’s going on?

No history
Could be dozens of things

Looks like some kind of rampant infection, like Brown Jelly or similar.

This happens to my birds nest all the time once they grow into a small colony. They look great then one day they just start bleaching quick. They are supposed to be 'easy' sps to keep but I actually have trouble keeping them alive long term without constantly fragging them.

They grow, and grow so bad they kill themselves. As they grow, flow is reduced inside the branches, they can't expel and the colony collapses.

The picture looks like pocillopora to me. Either way need some water parameters. Stuff is normally really hardy and will be the last one standing in most reefs.

That is definatly a birdsnest in the pic and my birdsnest that looks like that would be the first to go in a problem. They are so finicky and would never recommend as a first.
Those are my experiences.

It’s so weird I have mine for 1.5 years

Any successful remedies for that ?
