A little more background info would help out. Have they been in your tank for a while? Or are they new additions?

mine actually started to look like that when they weren't getting enough light...... I like to take a feeder and spray phyto on them a couple time a week. in about three months my 2 mouth ric split. the smaller side was the size of a dime and is now the size of a silver dollar. the larger size has grown 4 new mouths and looks like its going to split again. there also in a place where they get alot of lighting.

I have a rock with a bunch of ricordia and one of them looks all white. It also looks like it has 2 or 3 mouths. Its in the middle of all of them, and kind of looks cool. It expands and contracts like its neighbors, so I never thought anything of it. I know this doesn't help, but thought I'd share. Mine has been like that from day one and its been 3 months since I got it, maybe more.

Did it come from a lower or higher lighting setup than yours? If your lighting is considerably stronger it could be burning the coral.

My rics that I recently added to my tank bleached out. So i placed it on the sandbed and its been about a week and a half now and color is returning. Its definitely the light change.... well in my case.
