purple frilly gorgonian help

[reefwars]

seems my gorgonian has taking to sliming all of a sudden, it still has its white flowers coming out but is constantly covered in a slime like algae.

it sits in my tank in direct light and has a koralia2 pointed directly at it i can shake the slime off but its back in a few hours ive read that this is a type of algae and that gorgonians are known to "slime" is this harmful to anything else in my tank?? will it stop or is it going to die??

ive noticed on the very ends the purple tissue has worn down to where you see the little white center on a few branches ive read that this is an infection and should be cut off a 1/4 inch past where its happening any one want to elaberate or heard if this is true?? thanks
