Does anyone know what's going on with this cap?

Joe,
Is that the one you got from me? Hard to tell.

Yes it is....was fine until yesterday....seems to have lighter spots and blotches....i'm confused.

 

[aznnutty]

happens when u touch it. big thumb rite in the middle while holding it?

 

[pgolnick]

Did something change with position or waterflow ? I have handled these corals and they may get ticked for a day or so, but they bounce back. Not sure why the discoloration all over the coral.

Click on his link, you can almost make out the monti nudis in that picture. Looks like missing flesh from bites as well.

Monti nudis are really really common these days.

How do you get rid of them if that's what they are?

 

[Kreeger1]

some wrasses will eat them sometimes they just die off. But from the majority of threads they wipe out your monti collection. After a few months with no monti's it's safe to put them back in.
There's a good deal of tricks out about home to possibly rid your tank of them now. All seem to be hit or miss though.
