Help with Turbinaria peltata!


A few days ago I noticed that my pagoda tissue was pelling off, this started right after I upgraded my lights from 65w pc to 192w pcs. He's getting plenty of flow to maintain it free from debris and plenty of light too. I wonder if there's something I can add to the water to help him out in the recovery? Like iodine or strontium? All my parameters are fine:
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
PH 8.3
Salinity 1.0225
Temp 79 F
Calcium 410ppm
Alk 5.5 meq/L or 15.4 KH

It was probably caused by the lighting upgrade, corals need to be acclimatized to light too. Move it all the way to the bottom 'til it gets back to normal, then slowly (a few weeks) you can move it back up the rock.
