I had issues with LEDs and it did include browning out Sps. I'm still waiting for color to come back. I have some pieces that bleached and some that browned. I started with Mh and then switched to led. The issue isn't with how bright but the amount of usable light. Mh usually have about 70% useable light while t5 and led can be 100% usable.

Being said how are water perameters. Even nutrient that u don't test for can affect the coral. High iron will bring out greens for example

If the crab is in the eye of the chalice I would try a coral dip, it might drive the crab out. I have a chalice that was receading and had white lines forming on it, I dipped it in CoralRX and it recovered and started growing again, I feed my chalices meaty foods twice a week @ an hour after lights out.
