Anyone know what coral this is? Please ignore the green alge next to it. I'm having a problem with it currently. This coral frag I have had for almost a year. It was fully red at one point but now it's light pink almost white looking. I thought it died but I looked closer at it and it has all of its hairs out on the top of the coral. Anyone know how I can get the color to come back?

its likely the algae is stripping minerals and nutrient out of the water, and out competing the coral.
