I see whit spots up top too. Are you sure it's not tissue ressesion? If it's ressesion, I would cover it with epoxy. If it's bleaching, then I'd frag ASAP. Otherwise it's going to go downhill fast.

why would you frag a bleached coral.. it will come back, but that picture shows tissue loss not bleaching.

Some acros loes tissue at their bases because they are lacking in light to those areas. I don't know if that's the instance here, but if it is, I'd check into that man.
