What's wrong with sandbed? Are those corals 100% dead already?

Sand is probably holding a lot of nutrients. And ya, I'd say most of those SPS are beyond recovery, unless you got them in a perfect system right now. Anything that has algae growing on it is gone, get rid of it. Anything dying is adding to the nutrient load. Again, get it out.

I always vacuum almost all my sand every single water change if that helps. Water from it is normally pretty murky. But I'm sure that's normal. My tank going to look so empty if I take out all my dead sps =(

Is vacuuming sand bed a good thing? I have never stirred up or vacuumed My 120 gallons sand bed I thought it just stirred up nutrients. I thruthfully don't know if it's good or bad.
