Default New to sps's

So i just received the ORA Screaming Green Birdsnest this is my first sps and i placed it on the top of the tank where a 250watt 14k MH light is blasting it. It did ok the first 2 days and on the third day it turned white on the tips of the branches. Is it dieing? What test kits should i buy now that i want to do sps's and is there a controller that can read the things i want?
thanks
Luis

Can you post a picture of the coral? The white on the tips could be from it dying or because it is growing. Usually, white tips indicate new growth, but on a coral that new to your tank, it could be caused because of other issues.
