Default Growth on Colt coral

My colt coral has this white patch growing on 2 sides of it, any clues of what it is? I have noticed since it started growing about 2 1/2 months ago, the health of my colt has been off. Thought I had lost it about a month ago, but it is slowly bouncing back and feeding more hours a day.The white patch also "grows and shrinks" with the light cycle. Not sure if it really has anything to do with my colts health or not, but it showed up at the same time it started not doing as well as it had been. ( I have had the coral for 5 months) Insight anyone?

I don't know what that is. If you don't get a response from someone here at RB, you can forward your pic to WetWebMedia.com. Be sure you give them ALL info about your tank, and use correct grammar, or they will tie you to the whipping post. No kidding@

What ever it is I would try to remove it! When i first added my colt coral it had a Nudibranch eating at the base of my coral. I just pulled it off and after a couple weeks it was healed and back to normal.
