Hello
I have an issue for a while and it seems like if the problem is solving itself but now i noticed it is not.

My corals looks really bad. One of them had 2 extensions that grew really nicely and died and the main one looks like below now , the other one is pineapple tree that used to be huge and open and now looks like below. I also have a massive blossom of glass anemones

The values all looks in the norm range and the lather coral, mushroom corals, carpet anemone, scallops and fish all looks good

what should I do?

What are the values. Sometimes they can be great for one coral but not so much for another. For instance, soft corals tend to do a little better in "dirty" water.
 
When a coral or animal looks stressed always start by trouble shooting water chemistry.
If you have not done water changes I would start there.
What is your water source?
Peppermint shrimp will take care of the aiptasia, just make sure they are truly peppermints and not camel shrimp.
 
Have these two corals been recently introduced? How long have they been in there?

If the two corals start decaying I would remove them as toxins could wind up in your tank
 
what kind of lights?
