Torch Coral's tentacles turning white

A few weeks after losing two heads, I noticed that some tentacles on a few heads are starting to turn whitish, from their usual bright green coloration. I saw my cleaner shrimp picking around the heads in question, and I'm wondering if he's the reason that I lost the two heads in the first place. 

 

In researching the issue of the heads turning white, I get some conflicting information. Some say it's due to too much light, others not enough light. My parameters are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate, 1.026 salinity, and 8.1 pH, and my temp is 78 F. That's all I test for.

 

The offending tentacles are on the top right head. I also included a picture of where it is in the tank in relation to the ai prime hd's that I run.

 

Any thoughts?
