Hello! I recently purchased a montipora capricornis online and it has undertaken some serious damage. At first I thought it was bleaching but I don’t think that’s the case as the other corals I have, including 2 other montis of different species, are doing just fine. Perhaps something is eating it?
What should I do? There seemed to be no pests on it and the site I got it from is reputable.
Parameters are all stable and in recommended spots.

if something was to eat it my suspicions lie to my sailfin blenny or my tuxedo urchin, but I’ve never heard of either trying to eat coral

When I got the coral 2 days ago it was in perfect condition
