After more searching, I discovered this older thread, which seems to describe what's happening to this coral. It's slowly bleaching and being invaded by the green (I've only had it a short time so haven't been able to truly witness it in action, but I suspect it's already lost some red color since I got it)

I think my only option is to try to frag it and see if we can find a piece that doesn't have the algae in the skeleton yet.
