    the goni looks like it was stung by the tube anemone...the acro looks like RTN (rapid tissue necrosis) sadly there is very little that can be done..

    what is your ALK at? that is one of the first things to burn an acro like that...goni's are very tough corals to keep...generally regarded as an advanced aquarists coral/ expert care...

    how long did you acclimate the corals for?

    I don't know how to check that ALK if someone point me to the right direction I'll do it,about the acclimated, I did it about 20 to 30 minutes.

    The first is not an acro; that's a cyphastrea. It looks bleached to me, but might have been stung as well.

    Alk can be tested via a hobbiest test kit. You should be able to pick one up at your LFS.

    And I suggest you give this a read: Reef Aquarium Water Parameters by Randy Holmes-Farley - Reefkeeping.com
