Hey Angelo -
because of the really distinct lines between the white and non-white portions of coral, I'd guess that this might actually be evidence of crown of thorns predation or possibly a disease. It might be bleaching, hard to tell definitively from the small photo. Pete would probably be a good source to ask.
