Birds Nest Coral

[dhindry]

I was given a birds nest coral that was practically dead.

It was originally orange and had gone white and dried out.

I fragged the coral up and all the pieces have regained their orange colour but have also started getting covered in a pink/red slime.

Is this slime normal as part of the regrowth of the coral?

I'm a little confused

If the coral had dried out, then its dead. Any slime present is just the dead rock (old coral skelleton) gettng covered in algae is it establishes a bacterial ballance.

Birds nest are SPS corals, all SPS coral rules apply. They are hard-ish to keep and grow slowly comapred to most SPS.

I think I worded it a little wrong...

Most of it had gone white but.... the pieces I fragged off it were still orange and still are.

I will go and find some information about keeping sps corals now

Kind of looks like this but only in smaller pieces...

Here is a pic of mine, had it for about 2.5 years.
