Need help with receding corals

[mope54]

I bought some LR and they came with some LPS.
I'm not sure what these two are, but they aren't doing very well...

The first one was fine when I put it in my tank but over the last few days he's almost gone...or maybe all the way gone since it doesn't look like he has a complete mouth left (assuming they need one to survive).

The second one looked like that when I brought him home.

They are both about 7-8 inches.

The previous owner had them under 250 SE MH's.
I have them in my 90gal under 4x65 PCs (2x10K and 2xactinic coralife brand new bulbs)
I put them on the sandbed in a 24" tank at first
Now I've moved the first one to a rock about 3 inches below the PC lights. Flow is very mild in this tank with no powerheads pointed at the two corals.

I also have a 30 gallon tank with a 150 DE MH that I was considering placing the first coral under. But my limited knowledge of SPS is that they like low light/flow...whether the PCs or the small MH is "low" is the question.


So any ideas of what I can do to save either of these corals?
Should they be at the top or bottom of my 24" tank with PC lighting...or move them to the 30 gallon with 150 DE MH?

PC isnt strong enough theyre better off with the halides. Shocking them with another move would be bad though so give them a long slow acclimation and start them on the bottom of the tank with halides, moving them up gradually if they need more light, though on the sandbed is probably good. These arent what I would consider low light corals and they should have T-5, VHO, or Halide lighting. Low to moderate flow would be good. My comp is goofed up and the pics disappeared but I think I saw a lobophyllia and a favia.

My tanks are plumbed together, so there won't be any shock from water differences...unless just moving them and/or lighting changes will shock them?

They came out of a tank with 250 MHs, so do I need to acclimate them to my lighting at all if I'm going to put them under a 150 halide (start at the top and move down to the sand, for example)?

Does anyone have any ideas for me to try on the second coral (favia?)? Do I dip this coral in iodine and/or cut away the exposed skeleton? How far back should I cut?

Is the first coral salvagable? Even worth worrying about?
Or should I pull it from my tank before it pollutes the water more?
