Algae on scoly

[ZmasonJ]

 

Hi guys I need help. There has been algae on the skeleton of the scoly and because of that it seems like the scoly is unable to grow over the skeleton which has algae on it. Do you guys have any recommendations on clearing the algae on the skeleton so that it is able to grow back to its original size.

 

The reason it shrunk that time for a Long period of time and allowed algae to grow on it exposed skeleton it’s because of a anemone which stung it.

I use a soft bristle toothbrush to brush away unwanted stuff on rock, soft corals.

Hope this helps.

You can try the above method as mentioned by others but you might want to look into another reason could be not using RO/DI then there's likely high phosphates in the water.  which could cause algae to grow over skeletons/corals.

is it 0.5ppm consider high? I have some algae grow on my LPS like prata, scoly, lepto...and my tank if keeping 'meat' coral will see skeleton, my no3 is ~25-50ppm (having hard time to diff the color of the salifert no3 test kits)
