Rtn would be overnight poof and gone.
probably more stn. Check all parameters or send off an icp. Have your nitrates dropped recently? Alk swings?

Looks like you’ve got a wicked case of the LEDs, if I had to guess without knowing anything else. Looks like a consequence of shadowing where the growth up top is shading the underside enough to kill it. It’s a catch 22 on being successful at growing Sps! The last pic is extremely telling that this is the case.
STN.. usually water parameter problem.
Looks like shading to me. As long as everything is stable and in acceptable ranges, don't go chasing numbers or you will just stress them more. Keep everything stable, keep an eye on them, and if it stays just undersides or shaded areas, look at supplementing your light. Something diffuse off to the side of the coral so you get sideways light and more reflection from below.

I did a 5-gallon wc last night, will do some testing tonight if I can find some time for it.
Looks like STN. Send off an ICP so you can correct. I’m sure it’s a deficiency of something.
Really should do the ICP more then likely if your parameters are not too off then it could be heavy metals or something.... the fun of this hobby.. its like being a mechanic

That is intriguing, but yeah, I'm not gonna be the first one to try it. My first question would be, what does it do to the good bacteria?Just saw this... intriguing... snake oil?

Probably something similar like Pohls flatwormstop
Anytime I see a RTN product in a bottle…run.
For example…if the PO4/NO3 are both zero…will that product stop RTN. Nope.
