Setosa dying in spots

I just noticed this spot. Not sure what has caused it or how long it’s gone unnoticed. Parameters as of today

Hard to see in blue light but is that bubble algae on the rock? It looks like it could be bothering it where the montipora is trying to encrust. I just can't see it well enough to be positive.

Ok better pics. Also there seems to be anohh th ER spot on the end of one branch. I did notice a tube worm below the original spot and glued him shut. Hope that was it but doesn’t explain the second spot

Definitely no bubble algae, lol. Hard to say about the small spot where it's encrusting but the rest of the coral looks fine to me.

I would look around for monti eating nudis. I dont think the second spot is more death it might just be new growth.
Have you used aiptasia X around the tank lately? It can burn corals like that if a piece flies away from what you're trying to kill.

No aptasia thank goodness. I will look for nudibranchs. Hopefully it won’t spread
