Frist pick is it then second is it now all my other sps looks amazing except this one. Is it too much light? The park at that spot is about 270-290

What do you mean?
2 different shots so I'm not sure what is different other than no polyps on the 2nd pic.

My purple is literally at my water line when the pumps are on, it's like 300+ par and still trying to grow.

It often grow both ways from what I’ve seen - compact and dense or like yours is looking.

Mine is very dense and large (too big to fit in a 5 gallon bucket) but it’s under about 500 par. But it started as a small colony that looked like yours does now, but that was under about 200 par. Not sure if that’s why or not, though.

They are the same shot just two different times ones from 6 months back and the other is of today I’m just trying to figure out why the polyps don’t look like the frist pic anymore

Oh, i guess that is a big difference.

So you have not seen them come out at all lately? Is it growing at all? (I do see growth tips)

Some things to consider:
To much flow in that area.
Fish picking on it.

The white part is usually new growth, if that is what you mean - the skeleton grows and then the zoox is slower to follow.
