my anthelia has been doing great for the last few months, spreading real nicely. recently it's been closed up and i noticed this brown diatom looking stuff on it that's spreading. what should i do? i've been blasting it but it just comes back. should i do a freshwater dip? put it in my nano instead? thanks for any help, here are some pics.

Is the brown stuff anywhere else or just on the coral?

i had a similar problem with my colt lost the whole coral, i say frag the healthy ones put in your nano and keep blasting away.

ya i think that's what i have to do, it's only on the anthelia, i don't even have any algae in the tank except for the glass so i don't understand why it's just on the anthelia. oh and parameters are great, where they're supposed to be and so are all the other corals.
