I’ve had this red monti cap for about 4 months. It’s been growing great and is encrusting over the rock at the base, so I’m pretty sure it’s happy. The center of the cap has just, really lost its color. This has happened so gradually over the past 4 months that I was never concerned about it. I’m actually still not too concerned about it because it’s clearly growing a lot. I’m wondering if this is very slow bleaching, or maybe signs of vertical growth? There are definitely plenty of polyps toward the center, just not nearly as many as on the newly grown edges.

The photos don’t do it justice, it’s incredibly difficult to capture the colors. There are a phew different filters on to try to show the difference. The paleness is wherever it looks kinda... fuzzy...
