Algae on Birdsnest
I have about 8 SPS frags/small colonies in my tank right now, and they're all doing really well, with the exception of a pink birdsnest colony. It actually seems to be doing well, coloring up, etc., except the tips are developing a sort of algae on them. The colony does get some fairly high/direct flow from the Vortech. Could this be the cause somehow? Any other ideas?

I vote for flow. Break the tips off and direct your vortech so that its not direct flow, it should be fine.
