Not really sure but we would need a lot more information to form any opinion.
How old is the tank, real water parameters, what lighting, any recent changes?

Just to help, if you do see the monti nudi's, they are tough to treat. The thing that worked for me was a melanarus wrasse. Other people say the green or yellow wrasses also eat them. Never tried those myself.

Any other corals close to it? I have a patch on my green month that looks just like that where it got stung by another coral.

+++1 nudies, tough to beat. if you have other monties I would pull this one and try to qt it. And yes check at night. You must kill all the adults so that they cannot lay more eggs. dips don't seem to work on the eggs.
Good luck
