I would say to start looking for pest, and dip a few of the corals that has issues.

I have done this, there is no pests to be found, have dipped, looked with magnifier, lights, u name it.
No eggs, no buggs.

Also corals is showing no STN or RTN from base, just on radom places on the branches.
 
+1 on looking for pests, almost looks like some sort of infection too. Iodine dip or something like CoralRX would help with that. I've used ME Coral Wash Off Dip (free samples at MACNA :)) and it worked really well for these types of issues, so there's another option.
