I'm going to guess your nutrients are too high...maybe bulbs are lacking a bit too..

the bulbs shouldnt be the problem, as their 3 months old. the whole fixture is 3 months old. (6 bulb T5)

but i will have to check my phosphate and nitrate readings. i will do that today.

and do the lps colour go back to original? or are they doomed like this?

they can live although without the right pamaters they wont grow, they wont color up and the possibility of mortality is shot very high.coral dying can also cause problems for other corals near by depending on the corals
