I don't get it, Do you?

What kind of reflectors are you using? Could be a hotspot where intense like is focused on a single point.

Try putting the SPS elsewhere near the top.

It could also be the flow in the upper part of your aquarium.

I thought about that but the corals were spaced out and so on. Also when up near the top, when a part of the SPS was in shade it wouldn't bleach and would also have full polyp extension.
I will look into flow a little bit more though.
Thanks everyone

It depends on how bright the light was where they came from, likely dimmer. You need to acclimate them to the new environment. Move them up slowly or raise the light higher and lower it back slowly, over a few weeks.

the reflectors are from coralife so they aren't that great, that may be it.
