parameter readings? I would be mainly concerned about nutrients, temperature, and lightning conditions.

Everything seems fine from the parameters side. It doesn’t look very concerning keep an eye on them.

Has your lighting or parameters changed recently? How long have you had these corals? To me it looks like either a nutrient deficiency or a lighting issue. Does the tank get any sunlight? I’ve had little LPS colonies or parts of colonies bleach like this due to sunlight getting magnified onto just a small part of the tank.

Move it into full shade till you can get the zoo back in it. Once it darkens back up you can experiment on a new spot.

I wouldn't do anything else other than this.

That’s very possible, sunlight.
