My cyphastrea started developing these white spots a few days ago and they have spread. Is it tissue recession or is there something else going on? Going to do a H20 change as soon as I can get the salt tomorrow but so far all my chem looks good. Any ideas? https://ibb.co/DC0Tbkg

I cant see much from the pic, but two things that come to mind are white spot disease which is bacteria so dips may be worthwhile(especially if you have an antibacterial).

Also i have found that when i have my cyphastrea in too high of light it will start bleaching in spots rather than the whole thing.

This one looks tricky. You might get some more detailed help in the LPS forum if there are more specialized cy keepers over there. ...just a suggestion and sorry that I am not of any help.
