I have a new acro that i acclimated at bottom of tank for 2 weeks and moved it up about 3/4 way up and now one of the branches is white. I am running leds so my question is this okay or will i be losing the whole colony?
Sps branch turning white.

I think it depends on exactly why it bleached. I had a nearby coral sting a section of my pink lemonade the other day. That whole section is bleached, but luckily it is isolated to that area. I would keep a close eye on yours, and if it appears to be RTN, frag ahead and try to save a piece. Maybe move it down to half way up the tank instead of 3/4. Bottom to 3/4 high might have been too much too quickly.

Hard to be sure, but I don't think it's related to lighting.
I'm thinking too drastic a change in flow, or a stinging neighbor?
Seems like you'd know this already if it were the case, but is it possible that branch was man-handled during the move?
