Hello all,

I've got a small birds nest coral i bought a few months ago from the LFS.
I believe it started to bleach when i had an ammonia spike not long after I got it. I believe it is recovering.
However, in the last week or two I've notice some green algae start to grow on the white parts of the branches.

Should I cut the good branches off and frag it?
Should I dip it in diluted hydrogen peroxide?
Will the coral polyps 'grow over' the algae?
Can i scrub it with a soft toothbrush?

I appreciate your help. Thank you.


PS. yes, it is leaving over. It got bumped and I haven't glued it back.
