Is that your first SPS? What lights are you running? Do you know your PAR? What is your calcium, alkalinity, ph, temp, etc? Did you dip?

Looks to be bleaching a bit. Make sure parameters remain stable and watch alk for drop or spikes. Maybe turn lights down a bit to help acclimate and also may have too clean of water. These guys are not as picky as other sps with food in water.

From what I've experienced, monti's are vulnerable to alk drops and spikes, but if you stabilize the water fast enough they will recover.
