Some of my corals are declining in health but I cant seem to put my finger on why.

Lighting is (2) 90w ReefLED fixtures. 11 hrs with 1 hr ramp up morning and 1hr ramp night. Lights are currently turned down to 70% blue & 10% white after noticing my hammer bleaching but not so sure that thats the reason. As my frogspawn is now starting to loose color.
Flow is fairly high flow with a large gyre pump.
Upgraded to a Reefer 250 from a small 29g cube about 4 months ago. Swap over all inhabitants and liverock. Started adding corals a couple of months ago. Some are doing awesome mainly those who made it over from my original cube. Others are doing not so hot. List below:
Red Digita: Growing can see nice white new growth at the tips with bright pink/red polyps. However the majority of the frag the polyps are not bright and not fully extending.
Green Birdsnest: medium to low growth, fully extended polyps. More white the further you get toward the toward base.
Zoas: Razzmataz, blue hornet, rasta, blood sucker, scrambled egg. All doing very well. Razz came from my old tank and they just exploded in growth.
Green Mushrooms: Randomly located, came from my old tank. Also doing awesome.
Ultra Green Sinulara: Doing well. Seems to be growing in size over a month, polyps never seem to fully extend. Very bright green. Photos seen of this coral look wildly different.
Kenya tree: Have had this for over 2 months. Never grown, never fully expands, shrinks at night a lot but always looks very shrunken otherwise consistent. No decline or growth.
Small purple torch frag: Had for 2 weeks. Steady decline, almost dead, receding flesh, shrinking. Some skeleton showing.
Hammer Frag: Single head, always opened. Not super puffy like it was in the shop. First week it looked great, the next few weeks it seemed to slow decline in color bleaching. Some color seems to be coming back but still doesnt look right.
Frogspawn: 12 heads. Bright green awesome coloration for the first week. slowly starting to loose color. Always open and full otherwise.
Duncan: 3 head frag. Doing awesome. Two new heads grew in the past month.
Green Pearl bubble frag: Doing Average. Always opens. No change in size over the past month. It has lost maybe a little color hard to tell. Otherwise remains the same.
