Forest fire tips are expected to be white . Unless you have very high intensity lighting they will have less green hue. Keep water chemistry stable and I think it will come back. Don’t turn up light intensity suddenly. Corals will not die due to lack of,Ishtar suddenly. It’s much safer to start with low intensity and slowly ramp up if things look ok. 3watts per gallon should be max

If you are ever worrid about a coral becoming pale and you have close to 0 nitrate (yours being between 1-5ppm), try an amino additive or mixture.
They are all fine now it was white for like 3 weeks then turned back to its orange and brownish color the white I think now is skeletal growth and needed a set of eyes familiar with that specific coral because I have never owned this type. But I will keep that in mind in the future.

Digis get these sort of white spots on them. I am not sure what the proper name of it would be. You'll often see these spots with no polyps.

I did notice a spot that was white no polyps but after a week that spot is no longer there and polyps filled in.
