I do not see any reason for coral deaths based on those values, and I'd look for other reasons. Can you describe the tank in more detail?

You might benefit from a trace element supplement, but if the tank is getting fish foods and some normal water changes, it is likeyl getting enough trace elements to not cause deaths.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
