in basic tearms you switched from a 250 14K bulb (medium intensity) to a 10K 400watt bulb (high intensity) you have bleached your corals slightly but they will come back, make sure your Ca is around 400 and your alk is a little higher (around 10 to 12) and you have good flow. takes time but they should come back. remember also that there is not as much actinic light in a 10K as there is in a 14K so you will get a more natural color instead of a color popping neon color
