Some effected coral pics
 
Gorgeous tank!! I hope everything recovers quickly!
 
Yeap it is copper. They expelled their zooxanthellae do not panic and don't stress the tank more than it is. Just get carbon and cuprisorb asap and add it it will get worst but they will return to normal. It will take about 2 weeks for them to start getting their zooxanthellae back. I'm sure your lfs has cuprisorb. Don't do a crazy amount of water changes I only did a 5 gallon water change. Check out my build thread I talk about it there.
 
Also check your alkalinity daily you will notice around the second day that they will stop consuming Alk for a day or so. And turn your lights down a bit or raise them. I raise mine.

I just got some so I'll put them in the sump. i turned the halides off for the next few days just left the t5 only
 
Remember don't stress them more that they are. I would turn the halides on tomorrow but for less time or raise them.
yes you are right. Cant raise them bt I can cut the time. Im just afraid ill cook them since they are so close to the top of water line.
 
Wow, those are some serious colonies!!! If that had happened to me, I would be a blubbering mess! I hope your sps recover, and continue to look beautiful!

Thanks for taking the time to post a fts @TUSI...you have some seriously big colonies there. Awesome looking tank bud. Maybe time to trim a bit of some of those colonies.

Thanks. I will be taking most of it out and trim some frags and start over. Cant do my regular cleaning any more cause cant get my hands in most places. But ill wait few weeks and see what happens with the corals after this incident.
