Did you change the lighting recently? I've always found birdsnest coral vulnerable to increases in lighting, mine always did better in lower light, if I had them in higher light they would grow well for a well but eventually bleach out.

I am using Reef Crystals.. I changed the lighting a around a week ago. I am still convinced it is a lighting issue. and your right about the lower light as the underside is flourishing in the shade..

Thanks for the reply's
