Cyphastrea burning?

[Chaseon]

Hi there!
First post, bear with me. I’m concerned about my bling bling cyphastrea. It was growing like crazy for a few weeks, then I added a 2nd CURRENT USA ORBIT IC PRO light to my setup, and I think that’s when it started turning slightly white on the edge. Here are the results from the tests I have access to:
pH: 8.2
Nitrite:0
Nitrate:10
Ammonia:0
Calcium:480 (I have calcified macro algae so I try to keep it a little under 500)
Sg: 1.026

I have also recently added a sump (was cycled with Dr Tim’s and fed + tested for 3 weeks after) that holds 29 gallons, whereas my tank is just a 40g breeder.
Anyways, just worried bout my pretty coral, any help is wonderful! I have moved it lower in the tank now, into a slightly more shaded spot, hoping it was just too much light. Pictures attached of the coral and the part that I think is dying. Thanks you guys!

Oh. Adding to this. My tank was established in 2011, so 10 years old now. Has gone through many extremely stressful moves but I still have all my OG sand, rock, CUC, shrimp, and macros Full tank picture before I moved the cyphastrea so you can see what all I’ve got going on.

BUMP. The decay continues.

My cyphestrea looks too be dying too. Sorry. First time I’ve kept one in my QT I might move him over to my DT and see how he does there. He’s only been dipped twice and QT for about a month

I had a metero shower one that was fading for months but my Nitrates were 0. I started dosing NeoNitro and turned down the lights a bit and it seemed to recover. I had an ORBIT too over this spot on the tank and reduced the whites to around 70% vs the 100%. Hope that helps.
