we're gonna need more info in order to help you. current tank parameters, alk, cal, mag, salinity, temp. and if there have been any swings in the parameters.

In last mont i increased alk from 7 to 8.6 other corals seem fine
 
I can't keep them. Hammers and birdnests, go figure. I can keep nearly everything else, sps, lps softies etc. I'm 0-4 with hammers and torches, yet I have 3 frogspawn colonies that started with 3 teeny polyps. I stopped worrying about it and just moved on. Maybe I'll pull another Charlie Brown and try again one day, but now I enjoy other corals in my tank.

Keep making sure your tank is good, but don't sweat it if a problem that can be fixed doesn't present itself.
