Other is bottom left of scoly

All params are fine, they recently bleached and this brown, want to think it's algae that has started to hold on?

Way too much light! Way, way too much!

I'm not sure what you have your tank lit with, but you're cooking those guys. Move your fleshy LPS on the sand to partially shaded areas.

If that's skeleton exposed on what's left of that Trachy, then yes, that's algae. I don't see much hope for that guy with the state it's in I'm afraid.

The scoly is recoverable, but you certainly need to decrease the amount of light it's getting.
 
Thank you ;)
That's what I thought. They were in a friends tank, but in mine for now until we change his lighting up.
