I'm not sure why the Montipora is having trouble, but it could be unhappy with the lighting level or have some sort of disease or predator attacking it.
Yeah, I've considered just ripping the dang monti out. Its failure to thrive has been a constant thorn in my side. The odd thing is, I've got a monti spongodes and several encrusting montis that grow like crazy. Anyway, I pulled the ceramic block out tonight, and I plan to pick up an iodine supplement this weekend. I might consider bumping my strontium up as well. Maybe one of those will help.
