I think it turns white when it dies off. I have a few spots on the back of my tank like that.

I think coraline uses much more calcium than we think. Any comments on this?

What are your other water perimeters and how old are your lights?

Have you changed flow pattern or added flow? Have you changed salt or any habits in the tank? Sometimes it just bleaches. It will more than likely come back and may do so in a bit of a different color. I went from purple to patially green once. Changing to new bulbs will do it also. I seriously doubt its much to worry about. It isnt all that un-common of a thing. Just keep a close eye on your coral and such, that would be more of a worry. Other than that just be patient.
