Spot fed my tank with baby brine yesterday and woke up this morning to my lepto turning white none of my other corals are reacting zoas,Duncan,hammers. Is this feeding response? Or do think the coral is bleaching. I’ve never had a problem with this coral it’s growing fast.

Havent seen that happen from spot feeding, maybe with falling F-Aiptasia, or sand that was lodged on it, but just monitor it, if that's all it did, it will grow back no problem.

I wonder if the hammer is stinging it at night

Thats tissue recession, an iodine dip could help with potentially stopping it though we need to find a root cause, what are your parameters?

I have a huge Lepto. I've had a few of these episodes over the years, usually from a sting. Luckily, once they are happy again it will grow right back over the white part.
