Chance of an ammonia spike? Any fish MIA or a dead turbo snail in the back stinking up the place? What about the temperate of the water? Are you dosing anything?
Please help with info on coral.

Well that's all the trouble shooting I can think if right now.. Try a water change as soon as possible and see what shakes loose.. When my torch looks a little shrunk a pwc seems to perk it back up.. Sometimes things take time to acclimate. Btw, out if curiosity, what was the temp if your tank?

Well since my dad and I are both having the same problem and both new to corals. We've been reading all night, we both always kept our salinity at 1.023. Supposedly that's only good for a FOWLR tank. Corals apparently like it at around 1.025( somewhere around there) is this true?

.25-.26 better, I have a friend who runs .22-.23 and corals are great they will adjust. Did you add carbon or any chemical filtration products? I added carbon and purigen before and they shriveled up they like dirtier water with a rapid change like I did could be a cause.
