They don't look very good...something is definitely wrong.
I'd do a Lugol's or Reef Dip ASAP. I have some Reef Dip stuff you can borrow if you'd like. Give me a call. I could come over and help too.

Mine have done that in the presence of a new chemical or a sudden pH change. They will likely recover if they don't look any worse than that. The one patch of zoos that died on me had all the outlying polyps turn white, shrivel, and fall off. (Never acclimitized to my tank.) The worst case had them stay mostly closed for several days. Another instance turned out to be a "colt" leather hitting them on the occaisional crosscurrent.
Check all your parameters for something wrong, of course.

I should think it would be important to figure out how that happened. Those guys are generally pretty resistant little buggahs!

If your labs were fine, then I stand by my original suggestion of running carbon - and lots of it, changed daily for a while...especially since you said that your other corals weren't looking too good either.

were they wild? if so you might have introduced a pest in to the tank that could eat them real quick.

If your "red bugs" are my LRB then it should not be a problem. 1st the LRB only seem interested in Acro SPS, and do not settle on anything else 2nd I have seen no side effects from the LRB
How long did you have the buttons in the tank?
Were they moved? Touched by anything, like frogspawn?
Did you do anything differant, start doing anything, stop doing anything, add anything, ...ect?
