So I got a space Invader yesterday and I acclimated it just like all my other corals (10 in total) and this morning I see that it lost most of its color and bone is starting to show I cut dow on most of the flow and lights. What should I do? All other corals look strong and healthy.

Is this a new tank? How do your parameters look? My general observation is that LPS do poorly in low nutrient tanks, especially if they are used to nutrients.
I would move it so that it is wayyyyy out of reach of the two torch/hammer corals you have. While they don't appear to be setting out stinging tentacles now, they can do so at night and you would be surprised how far they can reach. I've had them reach farther than they are big. The space invader has the look they can get when stung. The space invader can itself also be very aggressive with stinging tentacles that could make the torches react.
