I moved my tank a few days ago, I had two days of the filter being off but corals were looking fine. Now my bird nest and sytyophora are loosing some polyps and some branches are even bleaching. Oddly enough my other sps are looking great (my other corals are too). It’s a very small percent of tissue that has been effected, anything I can do to reverse this?
 
When you say filter, are you talking about shutting off a canister filter, or do you have a sump? Did you reuse all the same water and rock? Did you have powerheads on moving the water?

Moving tanks can be quite tricky. Without more information, I would guess that there was some sort of nutrient spike, or possibly not enough flow for too long if a period, but only if you kept the same water and rock.
