So I bought an orange monti cap which was pretty orange and now its mostly white but the polyps are still out. I thought I read somewhere that the monti caps turn white around the edges as they grow. Any info on this..?

the white around the edge of a monti is generally new growth.What kind of lights is it under?They usually prefer mid .

Under LEDs . About middle of the tank.

I have an Orange Motipora Digitata, there are no whiteish areas, I would say your problem is most likely related to light issues, considering you still have good polyp extentsion. I have found that most Montiporas like a more intense light, so I usually place them higher up in my tank with very good results.
