need help asap coral could be dieing!!!!!!

There are many things that will look like AEFW without seeing them it is hard to say.
How old is your tank?
Have you dipped or quarantined everything that you have put in the tank?
How do your other SPS look

would flatworm exit help?
Not with AEFW
 
ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate less than 5

my fiance just came home from work and he agreed with me too. he thinks it's aefw. and now my other acropora is starting to get affected too. i have a extra 5 gallon tank but sadly i do not have lights to support the corals. so i can't quarintine the corals. if anybody wants to pick up these 2 acropora corals for quarintine. that will be greatly appreciated instead of me keeping them and watching them die. i am sure once they get dipped again and quarantine they will come right back
 
Just be advised,sometimes a way a frag is mounted to a plug can develop an infection of the acro as well.
I had a green slimer sitting on the sand bed for a month that developed bleaching at the base.And it was encrusted to the plug.
When it got to 1/4 inch up I fragged above the line and the coral has been fine and healthy since.
Even the lower part that was bleaching has begun to recover.
Also Jen,don't get the impression that acro will bleach from your lighting.This coral thrives in intense light.
I have some rather large pieces sitting just below the water surface under 250 watt halides.They're more likely to bleach or brown out lower in the tank.
