well it looks a bit closed, but that could be because its only actinics or blue's or whatever you got on and not daylights...

Dang dude do you think you could post a larger picture

From what I can see it isn't looking very good.

Anytime a problem with corals arise water parameters should be posted.

Temp:?
Ammonia: ?
Nitrate:?
Phosphate;?
pH:?
Alkalinity:?
Calcium:?
Magnesium:?

These will help to determine if there is something in your water quality which is affecting the corals health.
