Bleaching or pest?

[Dareefa]

Noticed some white spots on my monti. Is this bleaching, or pest related? Parameters are stable.

Looks like growth to me.

Looks like growth to me.

If it isn’t growth, does this look like bleaching? I had this coral for 2 months and all of a sudden these white spots formed.

Bleaching typically will effect the entire coral. Spots of the raised areas are most likely growth. When these SPS corals grow, the new growth will be white till the tissue covers the skeleton. Growth is good!

Here's old picture of my purple monster. The new growth is considerably more white.

The picture is blurry but it looks like the white areas on the edges are burns or spots that were nipped or something. A better pic would help determine if it’s growth or not.

Setosa doesn't have white tips where growth is occurring. Looks like something brushed it and rubbed off some skeleton.

My setosa gets like that when the nutrients start to get too low and/or alk too high
