No I don't have a par meter , I'm not sure of the fixture name but it's 4 bulb 39watts, over a 46 gallon bowfront

Is it a dimmable fixture? How high off the tank is the fixture? How deep is the tank, like 16-18 inches? How many hours do you run all the bulbs? Is it one channel or 2 channel light fixture?

No it's not dimmable , the fixture sits right in top of the tank , 18 in deep , 2 channel and I run them 12 hours a day....

The sps frags are probably getting too much light at too close a distance for too long a photo period. I would run the blue+ for you entire light cycle and just get a timer and run the coral+ for 4-5 hours a day. I would also cut the 12 hour light cycle to 9 hours. Can you post a full tank shot with the light fixture included in the pic.

Do you think I should place the frag on a rock at a lower level?

The fixture sits directly on top of the tank there is maybe 2 to 3 inches between the light and top of the water

Is it on the frag rack on the right? If so I would lower the frag rack to the middle of the tank height. Also where are your powerheads in relation to the frag rack? Also the water looks cloudy or possibly air bubbles from something? I might even move the frag rack to the middle of the tank, probably the back side since you said your tank is a bowfront.

 

[Theo15]

The power heads are hard to see but I have 3 in the top left corner turned towards the surface and one in the middle, the bubbles are from the skimmer because I used a putty for some rocks

If there is only 2-3 inches between light and coral I would bet they are getting fried.

Well you can do as you please but it just looks like the skin on yours is burnt imo.

 

[DereksReef77]

This is a pic of mine under all bulbs, still not the greatest. I battled flatworms for awhile. I'll take a pic under blue leds tonight.
