Hello, i have a 130g mixed reef tank with fish and mostly LPS coral. Only few SPS because the tank it's only 3 months old and i'm beginer. Since few days i notice a change in my two SPS corals, some white spots in top of the coral. Please watch the photo:

I have normal Water parameter with a bit more fluctuation that normal in alk.
I use one Orphek Atlantic V4 for 12 hours in day with 3 hours ramping in morning and one hour in evening.
What can be the reason of this spots??
Thanks

That looks like new growth to me too. The skeleton has to form, then the coral creates tissue (white/clear) and then the zoox move in and give it some color. Lots and lots of SPS have white tips when growing and most of the rest have a different color than the body.
