If phosphate is really zero thats an issue, they do need some phosphates.

My first thought is its more related to lighting, either too bright or too too, but I'm guessing too too. Do you know the par level?

For fleshy LPS like chalice, restor is a great tool to help turn them around when they start losing tissue. This chalice is finicky, and those alkalinity swings plus the zero phosphate are definitely enough to cause recession. How are you maintaining alkalinity and how frequently do you test?

Yes I also don't know why my kh drop so many this 2 week ,I using doshing pump 1 week add 1 kh,but my tank this 2 week drop 2 kh per week
Sounds like consumption has increased in your tank. I dose about 2 dKh daily in one of my tanks. It’s common for this kind of thing to happen as tanks mature.

As mentioned phosphate at zero is never a good thing but if your other coral aren't showing the same signs of stress I would say your test is off.
I would recommend a bath in lugols to eliminate the possibility of infection or bacterial issue.
