Hey reefers,
I purchased a Montipora Setosa pink cap that was doing fine but ended up with a nutrient crash and dynos. We managed to get the dynos under control, but my setosa ended up with some black spots on the polyps that look like dark algae, the coral itself isn't bleaching and looks healthy other then the black string like algae that is on its tips... I will drop a pic.. has anyone experienced this problem with a setosa?

Give it gentle bursts with a turkey baster- should dislodge
If not, lower light slightly
