ostreobium are green algae that live within the skeleton of living corals, Under nutrient poor conditions it causes no harm, but sufficient availability of nitrate or po4 it will grow faster than usual and will encroach on the coral and cause the live tissue to recede. The only way to control is to limit the nitrate on po4 levels
