    Default Monti cap bleaching from the middle out

    I left town for the weekend and came back to find a green monti cap with a big white patch in the middle of it. The bleached area in the middle is ringed by a light brown area that looks like the coral expelling its zooxanthellae. From this morning to lunch, it does look like the bleached area is expanding. I've got a second green cap and an orange cap in this tank that are both doing just fine. Any ideas what might be causing this?
