Welcome to R2R. Not sure which corals in particular you're referring to. I see mainly rock in your pics and maybe one frag plug which appears to have some sort of encrusting coral on it. Any top down day light/white light pics?

How old is your tank and could you confirm more details on the lighting used? You mentioned Aqua Night light which I don't think a night light would sustain coral life unfortunately.

It’s blue Clove polyps my tank has been up for 6 plus months now. It’s a light that I have seen do coral froth before.

If its been 2-3 weeks since the clove polyps came out I would say they're most likely dying. Could be many factors. My suspicion would be the lighting and flow. If this is the clove polyps there dosnt appear to be much if anything there.

You should see tubes which the polyps would extend from. Such as these below.

Ok, your first post was Aqua Night light. Threw me off. Yes that light should grow corals.

Hard to say without much there. Maybe give it another week. If not I would say its a goner unfortunately.

It still has its blue color which I’m confused about because after research it says if it has its color is still alive ?

What's your source water?

Test kits within expiration dates?

How do you test salinity?

I use rodi water
Test kits are within dates
Use a refractometer and also a hydrometer to double check
