sorry that came out wrong.. I had a nice tank with 20X turnover so I am not saying you don't have enuf I guess but rather with a loer number like that you have potential for more dead spots which could be afecting the corals some how.. now if it is all the coral in the tank and not just a few then again don't worry about it.

also one thing to think about.. how hard is the jet stream from the sea swirls? could it be to much of a blast and causeing the corals to retract?
