Most case if SPS turn light in color more like bleached they lack some sort of nutrients.
Light can be the issue too.
If the rest of your corals/SPS look good this might be one of the difficult SPS or it hasn't much PE when it needs to.
What are you # in your water! po4, alk, cal, mag, k,
You can find a lot in there most cases.
Also check for pest if it is just one coral.
Overall give us a little more info about all above mention.
You have any pictures on hand from the coral in question?

Ok guys here what I find out after run water test. Most of them in check only these 2 My cal is 580 and ALK is 7.0. And I have this system for more than a year now I use to do water test every month and is looking good recenly I add Kalkwasser mix in my top off it could cost the proplem. I'm thinking to do large amount of water change and adjust my reactor slow and anything I should do. Please let me know

I am no expert, but tagging along to see what the Pros will say 
I wouldn't do a large water change, just your regular water change. Calcium will come down on its own and I would start bringing the Alk. up slowly till you get around 9 dkh. A one year old tank is pretty young, you have to stay on top of these numbers. My tank is maybe a year older than yours, I test Alk. pretty much every other day & Calcium every third day.
