Green Slimer

Please diagnose. Is this bleaching? If so what is the cause....seems to be happening on one branch only, the other branches show growth, rest of my corals doing well.....cal 450/dKH 8/Phos- close to 0. Any ideas?

If its happening slowly its probably STN. Not sure what the remedies are. My SPS knowledge is depleted now

. Hope someone can chime in.

These things happen,Bought a acro from a vendor here and it bleached in no time while my others are doing fine.Could be ph swings or temp swings,nitrates,bugs.Try clipping that piece off.Also,it can also be where they originate from.I hear that Aussie corals are more hardier.That's what I heard.

Do it slowly as well.
