I don’t see bleach, the dead stuffs on what appears to be the “more shaded part” I would have expected a bleach on the opposite side and tip.

If you zoom in you can see smaller sections around it that sort of have these non straight lines of bleached polyps
 
my forest fire digi had this same thing happen to it… have moved it and made sure my parameters were in line and it’s still bleached. not sure what else to do :(
 
I have a digital that seems to do well from 120-200 for par
I don’t have a PAR meter but have the Photone app on my phone and people seem to think it’s close enough accurate. At max lighting the digi gets just shy of 250. With my reduced schedule I’ve been running I’d guess 100-150. I’ll have to recheck at my reduced lighting and see.

I wouldn't think that to be too bright but I can't say for sure

Based on my pics should I try popping the frag off and loving it lower or leave as is and see? It’s not dying so I’m somewhat hesitant to move it right now.

if you’ve adjusted the light, give it time to adjust. if it worsens then move it
