You'll get much more responses if you give us your water parameters..
2 weeks ago your bulbs were 2 weeks newer as well - you never said where you moved the coral - up ? down? sideways?

Yes, that could well be a factor. Give it time and it may recover depending on the tank's conditions.

Hard to tell from the pictures as they are a little blurry, but 30 degree water is too hot. There may be other considerations like not enough flow that could be part of the equation. It may likely be getting too much light too soon. I would move it back to where is was when it was healthy and once it recovers move it up higher slowly. Be sure to cut yourself an insurance frag in case it doesn't make it.
