is my montipora going south??

[meekel]

hi, about a month ago my mh light capasitor blew, so my corals went about 4 days with only t5 lighting no mh....anyway when the new ballaster was installed my montipora was covered with green and dark brown algae the brown could be dark green can't tell.....and today it still is covered.......there are some clean parts but mostly covered......is it dying???? or will it take awhile to clear up??? is there anything i can do to speed the clearing up process??? any help would be greatly appreciated.....
Thanks.

You could try to remove as much as possible with a turkey baster. I had that happen to a Pagoda..... I also kept it in high flow and it came back after about a week.

pick off all the algae

the algae thats on it is almost like a film it's not thick you can see thru it

maybe point a powerhead at it and see?
