Does not look good. How long have you had these corals for? If you just got them what is your acclimation process?

You may be burning the corals with too much light.

They look stressed, and it can be from too much light.

We could use some more info about the tank, like size. Also, how long are you running the 400w halides?

You're obviously doing something right.

I'd estimate the light is too strong for these corals: bubble in particular likes low light. Try moving it to shadow.
