I noticed that there is a lot of white on him under the blue lights instead of the pink red
Is that a problem?

What can I do to fix it?
I am waiting to receive my new test kits

You misspelled monticapricornis, just FYI haha.
Kind of a difficult photo but where is it white? Edges, middle, spotty...?
 
Based on that picture it looks like a lot of bleaching or RTN/STN. Can you post a better picture without so much blue?
 
I think it might be bleaching. Does anyone know how I can save it from dying completely?

Also 2 days ago this coral was really in good shape.

Is there still tissue where the white parts are or is it bare skeleton? To be honest I have not had good luck trying to bring back SPS once they start bleaching or RTN/STN. You could try dipping it to make sure there are no parasites. Also, maybe move it down lower, away from any intense light to give it a chance to recover. You could also try fragging off the good sections, eliminating the damaged parts.

So did you... lol
Photo may be blue but easy to see the white...

OP bleaching corals can sometimes be easier to save were RTN and STN not so much. What are your parameters?

I am waiting for my package to arrive with my test kits.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
