Diatoms choking coral???

[Malifry97]

So I received a picture while I am gone for two more days. The picture is of diatoms choking most of the heads of my organ pipe coral. Some of the heads are open but not many. Will my coral be fine until I can get back?

Blow them off gently with a turkey baster. I do this once a week and its amazing what dust falls off the coral

Thank you! I just received another photo and here they overcame the diatoms somehow!
