Hi guys, i am new to r2r sorry if i am posting this into wrong thread.
MY Red Digita acropora is getting white day by day. Today it is whiter than always but it has a few green and red spots on it. What should i do to save it or should i remove from the tank?

that’s a montipora digitata
They are montipora not acropora.


It looks like the coral is possibly getting stung by a neighbor.
What’s to the right side of it in the picture? The green poylps
Oh thanks i was thinking that my coral was acropora . They are hairy mushrooms next to it. I think my nitrates are a bit hight for a sps coral (about 45) , what should i do to save ?

are you referring to the coral on the right or the middle or the left?

right looks like mushroom, mid looks like acropora, and left looks like gonipora. I agree, looks like youre either getting stung, or bleaching. What lighting are you using?

Bleaching would affect more than just that one part, and it wouldn't happen over the span of a few days. The OP said it was slowly getting larger day by day, so something is stinging it.

Yes they are goniopora and mushroom next to it. It has started before i put it next to my goniopora, i think my light is not enough though. I use a beginner level light called Aquareef F80 series.
