I recently turned of all flow in my tank to add an anenome. Looking down from above I notice my montipora has purple spots everywhere not quite sure what this is does anyone have any clue? The polyps are out 24/7 it's thriving ive just never looked at it from that angle in a long time. I'll also add every other sps even from the same or similar species are healthy with no purple spots.

Parameters:

Alkalinity 8.2
Calcium 470
Magnesium 1350
Nitrate 10
Phosphate 0.05
Salinity 35/1.025
