Issue with Birdsnest coral

A little help if you would. If water parameters are assumed in proper levels is there anything in particular that may cause the bottom portion of a few branches to start bleaching? The top and most of it look fine and I can see polyp extension but noticed that in one spot the white are on a branch looked to have increased in size.

To little light, flow or just depends? My next option if it grows is to move it to a higher light area. Currently its about 12-15 inches below my AI sols.
 
It's common for the bottom to bleach when they get bigger, it's a lack of light. I just fragged my s. guttatus a while back because of the shading. It happens on reefs all the time.
