Sounds like it's bleaching. Is the flesh still intact? What are your water parameters and lighting? What else is in the tank with it (corals, fish, etc.)?

have a couple of fish which peck on the coral. the white is in the middle of the coral which receives low light. the ends of the coral are just staring to turn white and the ends are in direct light.

Also, what kind of fish have you got that are picking on the coral?
