Hello there guys!
three days ago, I got this beautiful sarcophyton, my first coral. When you look at it carefully, there are some little spots a bit whiter, as you can see in the picture. Even if those spots are whiter, they have polyps, so I am a bit confuse, I dont know if it is bleaching or if is everything alright.

It's likely adjusting to your water parameters. Give it time and watch it closely.

Side note: your sand bed looks from the picture to have cyanobacteria or dinoflagellates.

My tank is aproximately 3 months old, so I tought it was the normal ugly phase and I just had to wait. What should I do then? Arent those the normal stuff that appear in a new tank?
 
it is just adjusting to its new surroundings. just watch it. corals are cranky old people
