Since your SPS and your hammers are doing well, I wouldn't sweat too much about your frogspawn. Hopefully it will just take some time for it to adjust, and regain its color. One thing you don't want to do is make your other corals unhappy by constantly changing things. [emoji75]
As long as you are only making changes slowly in One Direction, I wouldn't expect adverse effects. It is also possible that frogspawn may be unhappy for another reason.
There are likely some threads available which pertain strictly to acclimation to lighting. Maybe some guidelines on what kind of percentage to increase, how long to wait till the next increase Etc.

I wouldn't even thought about that. I only have 4 fish in my tank so I wouldn't say large bio load but as I have never tested this tank for nitrates or phosphates (naughty I know) I didn't want to go down the route of my nitrates are this and should be that, phosphates are that and should be this as I feel its number chasing. I only test alk,mag,cal,temp and salinity. I get algae on the glass and a little dusting in a lower flow corner so I know it's not clean.
My sps are growing and my hammers and torch are growing. It's just I have lost colour from my frogspawn so I have just lowered the lighting down to see if it helps.
My trouble is I tinker too much with it adjusting white or blue because someone else has had good results with that setup, but that is their setup and no 2 tanks are the same. This I know but I still do it. I think i have bleached my frogspawn as I didn't acclimatise it to my light.
