Hi,
I've had a Kung Pao Montipora Palawanensis frag in my tank for a couple of months now. My question is, is this growth normal? I mean the colour (pink) and the texture.
It looks like it might be developing a yellow colour (which is correct for the variety) but overall I just don't think it looks that healthy.
What does new growth on palawanesis look like?

How are your other corals doing?
Light and flow?
Parameters?
I personally don’t see a reason to dip it again, that will stress it out more

I broke my king pau frag and placed it in a few different spots in my tank, the ones that are in higher light and higher flow do the best. Its a bit more finicky than other monti's, but I don't see anything concerning in your picture

This is the decline in the last 3 days.
Something is definitely wrong. Is it worth redipping?
Any other treatments that could work?

Not convinced this is a pest issue but assure you have decent flow, calcium not below 400 and alk not low also.
