Hello all!
Can you please help me identify this coral? I believe it’s a montipora. Also, it seems to have some of the tissue that has turned whitish. Can anyone suggest what may be happening to it? Thank you in advance!

I have seen them called seasons greetings Monti before. It's definitely stripping on the left side. Do you have any corals with sweepers that could be stinging it on that side?

I had just finished acclimating and adding it to the tank. It may have been from Its previous home. It’s actually starting to look much happier since my original post.

That's great to hear!
