White isn't good. The first link doesn't work and the second is a location on your computer.

Hate to say this Joe but the only time white is good is when it is on the tip of a growing coral and there will still be full polyp extension coming out of the white parts.
Ussually new corals that are added and die are white becasue you are looking at the skeleton.
FWIW, 1/2 of those corals looked near dead when you got them, and the other half didnt look like they were in that good of shape.(im assuming these are the same as the other day).
I would be asking for a refund/credit from who yoiu bought them from. The original pictures you posted last week is good enough proof IMO.

good luck

How long is the foster and smith guarantee? You can wait a bit, but it doesn't look good. Sorry

Well I am with fly guy here, White is not good in most cases. But don't pull them out You will be able to tell if algae start to grow over the white.
