Montipora base white

[fsas89]

What’s happening here? I just got this and several other corals a few days ago and the base on this sugar high montipora is turning white.

It’s on the right side by the white block. Second picture for perspective of where it’s placed in the tank. I’m using viparspectra 165w lighting at 75blue 10white

I moved it here for now, maybe the light is too much???

Can anyone help?

Got to give it a few days. Montis love light and are very hardy. I would move it up to moderate lighting and feed it some Reef Roids.

New growth is white.
Has this bleached?

So you see where I had it, it was mid/upper level, I moved it down cuz im scared its too much light? should I just move it up a bit higher and see, or higher where I originally had it?
