I got a tank from a guy online on Friday moved the rank to my house and the move went fine the corals started to hide I didn't think anything of it because they went into shock now the next day I woke up and the corals dont look so good I have tested the water everyday and did a water change on Saturday the and the test were fine the calcium was a little low but on sunday the test were fine I used liquid calcium to control it it's a 14 gallon bio cube can you please tell me what's wrong with the coral If its still alive just maybe in shock or dead
This is my mushroom coral
Then it's my bubble coral
Then a hard coral

They all look dead to me. The second pic doesnt look like a bubble coral to me either.
 
Well the last pic is pulsing or pom pom xenia, the second was an lps of sorts - im going with trumpet coral. Eithet way xenia can be tough to keep and HATES to be moved. What wete the results of your tests?

I think it's hammer or frog spawn not to sure I got another ? If I take out some of the LV would that make a difference right now I have 4 pieces I wanna take out 2 to give the fish more room by doing that would it make a difference ?

Honestly man im sorry but the corals are just about lost if not gone. I would leave the live rock though, in properly functioning reefs the LR is your primRy source of biological filtration. I may be wrong but this seems like your first sw tank, i would buy some books or something to build your knowledge base. Ill be happy to help but i reccomend books as well because not only is the info detailed but someone is putting their reputation on line for that info, therefore it's more likely to be correct. Id reccomend the conscientious marine aquarist or any of the books by julian sprung or his brand Two Little Fishies.
