Some Corals Bleaching

Hello.... my 60 gallon cube tank has been running about a year now. I was just wondering what would cause my blue polyp monti cap to bleach? Its been in there for awhile and one day is just started to bleach. I did notice it start to bleach alittle when i installed my kalk reactor but all my other acros are not effected... any ideas?

Alkalinity stability is essential. What are your water parameters?

Mine have does this before as well...mainly when I have "stressed" them with water changes or any unexpected dosing...as long as it doesn't continually spread they will recover...at least mine did!

I did not see a mg reading but this caused me great problems in the past. Is the whole thing bleaching or just the tips/edges?
