That one head is obviously receding. Could be irritation from another animal in your tank or sweeper tentacles from another coral.
However if I were to guess I'd suspect the other heads above it are blocking the light. Sometimes I've had to frag branching LPS because the lower colonies were failing. Just my wild guess......

Looks like your water quality is compromised and growing cyanbacteria...
