+1 on the above. Get rid of the affected branch and a bit of the clean tissue. Leave it in a moderate flow area to prevent algae growth on the bare patch. Birdsnest colonies have a tendency to go off like a lit match once they start receding like that. Just like apexifd, I lost a canteloupe sized colony in a matter of days because I neglected to trim off the dying branches.
But don't worry, it grows back fast. I kept a 1" branch (more like a stick) of the original colony and it's now a 6-7" bush in only 5 months. Moderate to high flow, lots of light and you're good to go.

christyf5 - it wasnt taking the full force of the powerhead, but it was right next to it. Then again its only a Hydor #1 powerhead.
I just broke the branch off as close as i could to the base, i somehow managed to pull it off the rock it was glued too (god dammit). I have it stuffed slightly lower into a hole in a larger rock getting medium water flow. Thanks for the quick replies guys. Ill see what happens.
