Attached is a video of my new clowns and yes new coral added yesterday how do they look. look healthy one seems to be breathing heavily. no ammonia as api shows ph 8.3 and no nitrates nitrites none tanks been running for 6.5 months ich maybe?
 
Water seems cloudy? Bloom outbreak or something? I normally run a small uv device to clear it up and make sure my skimmer is running to add air to the water.
 
That is micro bubbles coming from my protein skimmer happens after cleaning it last week
 
you could also begin to create a large bucket of water for a water change. Check your salinity in your tank as well.
 
but with that said.. how did the fish look at the lfs? I sometimes hang around at my local store for an hour before I make my purchases so I can watch them.

Hate to say it but sometimes some fish are in pretty bad shape at the fish store to begin with.
 
Thanks just added those corals today so questioning a water change and salinity is 1.25
