I have a monti cap which I got from a fellow reefer some time ago. Recently, it started to bleach from centre portion. I have no idea what is the cause. Water parameters are stable and don't see any nudi's. Coral was doing well for past 4-5 mths until this happened...

Use a sharp knife to cut the byssal threads. Make sure you don't tear the byssal gland. When the clam is at the new location, it will lay down new threads again.
