    yeah you are not, that is bleaching, there is alot that can cause this, Temp changes, light changes, water issues, etc.
    Not much can be done at this point, maybe move it higher.

    It lost its zooxanthellae and will not get it back. It can live but it will shorten the life. Mine lived with white spots for years. All you can do is give it good light, good water, and flow.

    Stress can cause it yes but it is usually temp and light that are the issues
