It didn’t come to me with the discoloration on the interior you can see on some of it.What is it doing that you’re worried about? I’m not seeing anything immediately concerning from the picture.
Agree. More flow less light.Is the tan stuff actually the macroalgae? When I zoomed in it looked like it was some sort of mix of microalgae, hydroids, maybe bryozoans, and sediment. All sorts of things (more than what I listed above) can grow on macroalgae. I’ve got a white colonial thing growing on my botryocladia that I’m working on IDing and I see my Cerith snails cleaning off my Pom Pom macro all the time.
You could try moving your Pom Pom to a higher flow area or breaking up the clump so there wouldn’t be low flow areas in the middle to see if that makes it an inhospitable environment for whatever makes up the tan stuff but I’d probably just let it be unless it got to the point where I was getting no growth at all.
If your algae itself is actually turning white then I would consider whether Chaetogro or more nitrate/phosphate or less light would be needed.
