How long have you been running your photon 32 & did gradually ramp them up.
Maybe bring them back down to a 40/20 blue to white

I know i just started reef tabk 4 months ago... but i heard from alot of people that white light promotes growth and blue light really just promote color pop.... im running my lights at 50/50.. and all my torches, octospawns, frogspawns and hammers are doing fine and opened up at their fullest.... another thing... do you have shrimps in your tank?

Photons are really strong drop the % down a little do water change keep out of a strong flow.

went through something similar
started with my torch center piece dying

look real close for a lice looking bug or brown little worms ;/
you may have a pest problem you've introduced somehow and didn't realize it.

add any new pieces from member's or LFS ect...
maybe frag anything up lately ?
