What salt are u using? Reef crystals is notoriously low in mag. Calcium and mag are not optional in a tank with any corals that have a skeleton like euphelia. Like reef panda said my guess is your mag is low. Target 1300 and i bet u will see difference in your corals. I use salifert. Find it to be best mag test.
Can confirm, I was a huge Reef Crystals guy forever, but constantly having to dose 2 part +Mag and other stuff. I recently switched to Fauna Marin, and WOW!! ITS AMAZING. Im pretty much using that and Kalk in the evening, plus red Sea ABCD, and Briightwell revive every other day, and my numbers are so much better now.

Magnesium is at 1380 only thing I think it is at this point is high flow or light shock

Tank is 10 months old
But are you testing Alk, Cal, Mag, Phos etc, even at 10 months old, you need to know numbers, so you and all of can help out. What is your Salt Gravity at??

There are always some corals that just live on...no matter what...but for others, they need to be within certain parameters, especially your salt, Cal, Mag etc. They will not be happy at all, if those are off.
Mag is at 1380 and calcium is at 450 I think it might be light shock or maybe too much flow
