This finger leather has been doing great for awhile but it recently started to get this brown algae it looks like and a little slime coat on it also, Also on another topic I also have some Yellow Polyps and they have been tucked in for about a week not, no loss of color just wont come out, I have tried moving them around in the tank to change light/flow etc and suggestions on that also? Thanks guys :hat:

Algae growing on it is no good. Have you tested your parameters? What are you using for filtration?

its a 100 gallon thats 63 long and im using 2 hydor 750 and 1 of the nano hydors, as far as filtration I have a 46 gallon sump/refugium and a 4 stage canister with UV and also magnum 350 with just carbon in it, I am using RO/DI but I recently just got it and started doing water changes so I was wondering if the swap from tap to the good water could be causing it? All the other corals such as the xenia and musroom and zoos seem fine
