I had this lepto in a spot where some of the polyps were in contact with rock, and when i moved it since i saw some algae growth, likeley due to low flow, the contact areas were whitish, is the coral healthy? I see on the ridges of the coral some discoloration, does that mean something? Thanks for any answers.

Looks healthy to me
Thanks! I dont know if the picture shows it well, but there were some white spots that looked like skeleton. It looks fine except those areas, easier to see with an orange filter. If its still fine, then thank you!

Could be alk swings that it isn't a fan of. Do you know what your daily/weekly swings are?

Are those spots where you may have handled/touched the skeleton? Looks healthy overall and would just watch it.

Ah, yes i did move the coral recently as said before because of not enough flow, that is probably the issue. Thanks!
