Giant corals Dying??? HELP

[fish freak2012]

hey, a favite brain coral and a giant toadstool leather i got them at the same time about 2 and a half months ago and they were doing great until about two weeks ago when i got new MH bulbs. without knowing i bought 20k bulbs and the bulbs i was replacing where 14K. could this be why they are still not fully opening. the tissue on the brain is turning pale and slightly translucent. could the change in lighting be the cause of this? the toadstool is also pale as always but the little tenticles have not come out for a while!?

if ur prior mh bulb was really old, and u replaced it with a new one, the corals could hv be light-shocked. going from 14k to 20k shouldnt be an issue at all. r the corals dying? if not, they could still be acclimating to the new lighting.

this is an answer to your question about them dying. well the brain is bigger than a soft ball with a faded area that that covers about a fourth of it. as for the toad stool it seems droopy and very pale. it looks like it has goosebumps!! so that could be a good thing.

does it sound like these corals are dying?????
