Favia bleaching in eye

[Bam327]

I’ve got a favia that is about 2 weeks old and I noticed one of the eyes turning white a couple days ago and seems to be getting worse. If they bleach would they bleach from the eyes or from the “rims”? The picture doesn’t really show it well, and it’s also just one eye out of ~30. Any help is appreciated. I’m new to adding corals. Thanks.

I stand to be corrected but all I see is the lighter colour of the mouths, very pretty piece.

Excuse the quick snap, lights are going down / low?

I have a favia that has some white growth on it. It comes and goes, but otherwise the coral seems to be okay. It's been doing this for months.

Note that this favia was bleached out from too much light. I moved it several months back and it has started to color back up again. But that's when the white stuff appeared.

Sorry for the blurry pic. I have to shoot at a pretty high angle thru the glass to see it, and it makes it blurry.

I think yours looks great!

Thanks guys. The pics aren’t showing what it really looks like in person. It’s pretty darn white but it’s just not showing up with the camera. As long as this doesn’t raise an eyebrow with anyone I’ll rest easier. I tried to get a couple more pics. It might show it better but still not as white as reality.
