Right as I added this one they started to die
 
They aren't dying, they look stressed, if they continue to be stressed they could die but I wouldn't panic just yet. I would aways test your water first make sure you parameters are in check and post them in this thread. When did you add the xenia, the last coral you mentioned?
 
Go back to basics. Start by testing your parameters (temp, salinity, alk, calcium, nitrate and phosphate). If they’re off, a series of medium sized (say 30%) water changes spread out across a week will help. Running carbon and reducing lighting intensity can also help, especially with new corals.

Thank you
 
The tank looks very new, its still in the diatoms phase. Can you please share the parameters with us, we need to know how old is the tank and what type of lighting and flow you have in the tank.
