Welcome to R2R! I agree with @vetteguy53081 leave it alone. It looks fine.

Hi and welcome to R2R! People here are friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to help. We’re glad you joined! Hopefully you’ll start a build thread. We’d love to see your reef as it progresses. As others have stated vetteguy53081 has given great advice. I’d let it do its thing.

Yep. IME it’s been the result of detritus settling in the coral. You usually see it in the bowl area where it settles for a while.

With clean water, good light and flow, mine have filled in the holes in time, with no deleterious effects to the coral overall.

Thanks! I have lots to learn!

It's normal. Soon you'll have a dozen or more toadstools. Mine did that a year ago and now I have them all over my tank.

Just knocked out a cyano bloom in this tank about a month ago - that sounds related - could it be?

Welcome to the Reef, might it be splitting?
