Well this isn't good.

Too dark maybe.

Do you know your water params?

Par?

 

[Flippers4pups]

One of two things or both.

Water parameters or source water is out of wack.

Light intensity is too high or too low.

Look like water is out of wack. Are you dosing anything?

If the intensity was too high they'd be bleaching fro the top down typically though

What are your parameters?

Age of tank
Calcium

Phos
Nitrate
Using RODI
PAR

Low light, Good chance high salinity and alk and I question amount of flow. Moderate would be good for this size coral.

Not sure how strong your lights are but in this pic it’s not even enough light to see the tank let alone for the corals to thrive. What does it look like with the lights at full power and how long are they under full power?

Bleaching is a loss of zoox. High temperatures and intense light, or high copper or other metals, and sometimes very low no3 or po4. usually the cause.

I would recommend to do an ICP test
