Aussie gold torches are notorious for this.

Low light and stable parameters are your best friend right now.
Keep the water dirty for them, they like lots of nutrients in the water column.

Dirty water as in? High feeding fish? What about feeding coral it self ?

What are your parameters? What kind of lighting do you have? How old is the tank?

Dirty water as in you should have some excess nutrients built up in your water column weather it be more feeding, more fish or less export.
I wouldnt make any major changes, better slowly over time.

Okay how low of lights like 50%?

I wouldnt reduce them.
I would find a nice shaded spot for it at the bottom of the tank.

I never had good luck reducing the lights for acclamation other than when changing fixtures.

Tank age and current full parameters would help.
