Two of my acropora is bleaching. If I leave it alone is there any chance they will bounce back? Or should I refresh right away and try to save the tips?

White light pic.

Has something changed in the system?
Keeping on just keeping on will result in further decline. But I guess that would be if something changed or system not stable.
Need more info.
 
I would make frags rapidly of the unaffected tissue. That's not bleaching, it's RTN. The white is the skeleton that you're not supposed to be able to see.
 
Here’s white light photo. Only thing that’s changed is I moved my power head a little to the side. And three weeks ago my salinity dropped from 1.025 to 1.022. I moved it back to 1.025 in a week. Could either factor be it? Is there any saving it?

STN/RTN, imo, snip a couple frags and remount. If the colony goes south at least you got frags of it. Snip only healthy tissue, nothing that's dead(or white).
Looks like it's going south.
 
Same tank I have these Monty’s.. are the white tips Rtn? Or is it just budding and growing?
