I can’t tell from the photos but see if there is any algae bothering them maybe some pests
 
11 ALK is kinda high but there are so many other parameters not shown. Even something as simple as salinity could be off.
 
Thanks for the feedback! Salinity 1.026.
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
The only thing I'm not sure about is phosphate. I did notice some algae growing so i put nopox in my tank for 12 hrs. This morning I dosed with hydrogen peroxide.
 
Also, one tipped over without me noticing for a couple days. Now it is slowly turning white. I've moved it to the bottom of the tank. I know its slowly dying. Can I frag the healthy part? Can i dip in peroxide solution?

Did you say 10 nitrate or 1,0. Nitrate

You need to test your po4, the presence of algae doesn’t mean a po4 problem. Adding nopox without knowing what your po4 is at, is a problem waiting to happen.

I would frag off the most healthy section. Also your ALK is high imo. Also you should check your par. You can just be burning the corals with high par/alk combo. Or you might not have enough par, won’t know until you test. Nitrates are fine, it’s good to have some. Can be a lot of different causes at this point, start simple with checking salinity/etc then PAR. Just need more info to help more.
