what kind of lighting are you using? under intense led direct light I would say its bleaching a bit, T5 I would say growth and all other lighting will be variable.

My digitatas and montipora confusa all have white tips. They are just new growths

It's the AI Hydra LED lights so it may be too much light ? They are about 18 inches from the lights ... maybe lowering them in the tank would be the next logical step ?

Move it a low light area for a few weeks and let it recover. It might take longer than that but you should see a full recovery.

I think it's growth tips too, but the picture is too crappy to tell for sure.
