None of those parameters would cause your monti to bleach; any other changes to the tank recently?
Are they receiving the same lighting or has there been adjustment to lighting intensity?
If no change in lighting/placement, and other corals are doing OK, I would agree with @Zero1091 and inspect for pests. How long have they been in your tank?
No, a slight change from 9.5 to 9.0 a week ago, but since then 9.0 steady.Ask me lack of stability in alk will be the culprit 7 times out of 10. Did your alk go down to something much lower and your raised it back to 9 quickly or a big water change?
What are your po4 levels at?
How big of an increase in light? Percentages?
Tank doesnt look highly stocked but a deficiency in iodine will also cause color loss in montipora.
Had that issue once, dosed iodine and in two weeks a lot of my montis quickly recovered.
Yeah dont see any pests so thats ruled out, if it was nudibranch youd totally see them square dancing all over that under side.
Lugols marine iodine is what I personally use. I didnt understand its importance for sps specifically montis until I saw unreal recovery from dosing it.
I literally had a zero reading and my montis were hurting. 2 weeks and literally back from near dead.
But there are others out there any should do the trick with the directions given. Although you shouldnt dose what you cant test for so a test kit wouldn't hurt or an icp test if you can.
Thats not too much of an major increase in light but it could very well be that sudden increase that did it.
Bring it back down and see if it improves.
