Is my jedi mind trick montipora ok?

It’s just too too blue to make any assessment of its health, I should be seeing green skin with red polyps and blue ring.

Hard to tell from the photo but looks like some exposed skeleton on the left hand side. I'd make sure it's not getting too much flow on that side.

How long have you had it? Any big changes made to the tank recently or parameter swings?

The green has disappeared. It had tilted against the wall for a week or so and the green didn't.
I'm having issues with keeping phosphates stable. They've been 0 0 and yesterday they were .57. I have gfo in there now. Im at a loss of what to do with it.

I can’t see much in the picture except some skin pulling from the edge. I have no history to review, so impossible to help you, it would just be a complete guess.

Tell users your systems history current parameters and how much flux they experience in 24 hours, how long you have this coral.

A full tank shot would also help.

My phosphates are at .57. My nitrates are at .27 as of yesterday. My dkh is at 7.8 mg is at 1400. Calc is 490

I had a Mind Trick do that exact thing on me a couple weeks ago. It was showing the correct colors, then it completely browned out except for a small spot in the very center with no polyp extension. Then, last week, the color started coming back, and this was it on Sunday:

That said, mine never had the lifting skin that yours looks like it has, along with a couple of bare spots. Could be that your phosphates are getting high is ticking it off, could be it was weakened by being pushed against the wall and that allowed the flow to irritate weak areas, or you could have some kind of pest/predation going on. Hard to say for sure but that doesn't look like how a Mind Trick should.

Pictures are best if you turn all the blues down to zero, leave only the white lights on, that way we can see it clearly. The pictures are not clear enough to make a judgement.

This is a sign your tank is not ready for corals. You need to wait a few months and let your tank continue to cycle and mature
