White Spot on Coral

I've had this coral in my tank for about 7 weeks, it started to grow a small bump on it which was green underneath it. Now today that spot turned white, is it blenching?

It looks fine to me. It that is indeed a Leptastrea then these things are EXTREMELY durable IME. In certain situations they can almost become invasive.. GL.

So that white spot on the left of the coral is normal? I've never seen anything like it.

I wouldn't necessarily call it normal, but like mentioned above these corals are tough. If you don't see that white spot spreading to the right within the next week or so then that coral will most likely spread to the left. To be honest with you it almost just looks like epoxy. GL.
