2 of my SPS frags have brown algae build up on a few branches after a recent move. The rest of the frags are looking ok. Should I be alarmed & what should I do about it?
Thanks,

From my experience , it's the actual dying flesh feeding the algae. I have a couple that just haven't healed that it happens to.Please post up your nitrate and phosphate levels. If unsure or not able to test for them reach out to someone that can properly test them for you. Likely they are elevated and causing this issue. Yes cutting the tips may be a quick solution but not going to cure the overall problem.
I'd look at flow.I'm having the same issue.. sps frags are getting brown tips. My colonies are fine... Is my.water to dirty? Should I turn off my skimmer? Should I turn off carbon or gfo? Any help please. My ALK is running between 9.6 and 10.0
Would u say more flow or less flow??[/QUOTE
I'd have to see it.
But if everyone elese is fine, I'd say the water is fine.
It's slightly possible is a bit to much light , can't see them.
