Red Sea's solid, so that's not the issue. Keep an eye on magnesium too, low mag can make colors pop less. Aim for 1350–1400 ppm.

Re: Montipora capricornis color fading

Sounds like it might be light stress. Montis can bleach if the intensity is too high, even if params are perfect. Try reducing the Radions to 50% for a week and see if it improves. Also, what's your alk sitting at? If it's swinging, that could mess with them too.
