Dont have a tester. ph - 8.1 light - coralife 36" t5 42 watt Tank size - 33 gal Feeding DT's phytoplankton kent phytoplex liquid life marine plankton Water flow 3 power heads all facing diferent directions. Digitata is in a strong flow area but I could move it to a place were it gets more flow

Well your first problem is you don't know your calcium or alk. You need to know these paramaters in order to successfully keep SPS. Your lighting may not be completely up to par for it either.
My suggestions... get a calcium test kit ASAP and test your calcium, and adjust it by dosing. Same goes for alkalinity, both are equally important. Move your digitata up to the highest point in the tank (recieving the most light possible) recieving good overall flow. I also think you feed quite a bit of liquid foods.. I am sure that must in some way build up in your system. How often do you feed all 3?

Alright well I guess you should work on , A) Getting your calcium test kit and figuring out where your at there, then adjusting if necessary. B) Move the digitata to the highest point in your tank recieving the most light and C) make sure the entire coral is recieving a strong intermittent flow. I think this will ultimately lead to a healthy and happy coral, providing all other tank paramaters are indeed in check. SPS are fairly fussy and not as easy to keep as we'd like. But monti's are of the easier to keep SPS
Good luck!

Honestly the digitata looks not that bad. Did you just add it? It just looks like the polyps are deflated. Maybe there is a bit of tissue recession there, but not sure.
Mine looked like that when I first added it, and when a piece breaks off and falls into the shade it looks like that too. So I would say give it some more light, or if you just added it, don't worry about it. Digi's seem almost bulletproof most of the time.

It has been in my tank for about 2 months. It has looked better. At first I had it closer to the light but now that I have more things in my tank i had to move it to the bottom. and about 2 weeks after doing that it started to go white. On wednesday I moved it to the middle of the tank. It looks a little beter than it did but I am still worried. But I think it will be fine
