Do you have other coral? What kind and how are they doing?

Bleaching is often a sign of too much light, but there could be other factors at play.

You said you've bought them three times, did the other one's die?

Temp can also cause bleaching, how does your tank temp look?
Can you provide more information also please:
What size tank (please give dimensions):
What length bulbs: (x6 right?)
What is happening with the one that is 80% dead?
How long are your lights on for?

Would you please post numbers for:
(I couldn't provide all of these easily, but the more info we have the better. So just test what you can and provide results):
Alk
Calc
Mag
SG
pH
Ammonia
NitrIte
NitrAte
Phosphate
Temp
