![]() Can you tell us what you have for lighting and water flow?
Maybe post a picture of your system? Were the frags already healing on the plugs, or were they freshly cut?

![]() Lots of light and high flow is essential. Are they browning out, bleaching, STN'ing?
Millis are pretty tolerant compared to most acros. |

![]() More information please.
Tank size, how many/which powerheads, describe how the corals are not doing well, are there other corals in the tank, are you using carbon, where are the corals located, have there been any incidents that would have affected them...ect It's hard to recommend a possible solution without knowing details about your setup.

![]() Your lighting is good, your flow is possibly sufficient, depends on how you have it arranged.
More water flow would be good. Flow is more important than lighting for corals. I would be concerned that maybe you have some alleopathy (chemical warfare) going on, and with very few water changes plus no carbon, any new corals will have a hard time adapting. Rowaphos can be hard on sps if you're using too much. How much are you using, and have you always used it? The pictures might help a bit more.
