Buying online corals the basics

[Groovyg]

ok guys this the first time buying online corals.
i have mainly stocked my tank via LFS. I purchased 10 sps frags. I recieved order in a timely fashion. Apon opening up packaging in i checked water temperature in each container
they averaged about 70 degrees give or take monti challaces all look great after being in tank for 4 to 5 hours. Acro frags not so much all of them the zooxanthellae is falling off so my question is that considered doa or is this normal and it a wait and see if they recover
my tank parameters are as follow
78
34ppt
no3 10
p04 .04
cal 450
mag 1600
alk 9

If you mean the tissue of the coral is falling of then no that is not normal for a shipped sps frag. I would definitely reach out to whoever you bought it from and let them know. Once they start to necrose they can survive but many times they won't, and its definitely not to be expected.
