Green Birdsnest turning white? Coral help!

[carlykush]

I’ve had this piece of green birds nest coral for about a week now and I noticed this morning there’s relatively no green left and it’s turned overall white. What is causing this, can I save it, and should I move my coral?

No recovering that one unfortunately. You can remove it

This looks like tissue necrosis. It won’t recover. I would look at water parameters closely to reduce the chance of this happening again.

Don't give up. Give that one another go!

Agreed that is a gonner unfortunately. Stick it in the sun for a day and you will have a neat paper weight for your desk. Regarding the cause, check your parameters. Big Alk swings and general instability often lead to RTN, but sometimes the cause is difficult to identify. Do you have other SPS in the tank?

Edit: looking at the photo again, that tank looks very new. How long has it been running and what are your parameters? It also looks quite close to your sand bed, so maybe not enough light.

Yeah that coral is bleached out and all tissue gone. Sorry bud doesnt look alive anymore.
