White spots on my Stylophora

[Spanky313]

Help i dont know what it is. It might be my lighting, kinda, see i had 64 watt P/c for about a 2-3 weeks with the coral then, i got t5's, the hasnt been any improvement, with the last 2 weeks. Should it be better by now or is something else wrong?!? The first pic is when i got it and the second is pretty much current.

it kinda looks like new growth... but i might be wrong.

It looks like tissue recession. U might wanna try doing a dip in an iodine-based solution in case it is a parasite.

Looks like mesenterial filaments to me. If that's the case, check your pH, kH and flow.

Do the white spots consist of white filaments coming out of the walls (coenenchyme) of the coral?

They look like little white bugs. I had them on my birdsnest and they were killing it. I added two Six-Line wrasses and they ate them all. If they are not bugs then is it possible its getting hit by salt creep?

Well i just added a 6 line so, we will see on that one... but i might try a dip of some sort. I also dont see any tissue coming out of the white spots.
