monti cap lost some flesh


My oldest frag of a monti cap seems to have lost some tissue/flesh after I had trouble with a salinity spike while on vacation. The bare skeleton areas have a slight algae fuzz on them and the polyps are not as extended as before. Any ideas on what I should do?

Tank info:

tank 9 months old
salinity 1.025
pH 8.0-8.2
alk 10 dkH
calcium 420
no significant algae growth on glass or rocks

That coral also looks very bleached out to me. If it were me I would move it into an area with about half the light it's getting now to help it recover, then as it gets it's color and pylops back you can try acclimating it back where you watn it.

I was thinking that too, but wanted someone else to say it.
