Phosphate? What about lighting? What about flow? Pictures with white lighting would help as well.

Is it bleaching or is it undergoing STN?

phosphate is fine, im running resin rn, im about to go to beach, so ill get those back to u later :D
"Phosphate is fine" is not an appropriate answer lol

What level is your phosphate? If you're running some kind of resin to reduce phosphate, you could strip the water and this is bad for the corals as well.

the phosphate it most likely not the problem because it is still slowly loosing color, before and after resin...
but I will still test later :D

its the tips, it just looks like is SLOWLY losing its color, ill post pic later
Stylo tips do turn white as they grow, which is completely normal. If it looks something like this, you're fine.
