Hello, experts! This is the tank where I put three types of coral together. SPS+LPS+NPS

Why are all the corals in my tank in good condition, except for those fine corals that are in particularly poor condition?

The blue "tenuis" was put into the tank in October 2024.
At that time, there was only LPS and SPS in the tank, but no NPS.
At that time, the PAR level of my tank was relatively high, and the tenuis PAR was around 400.
Dark Blue 100, Light Blue 100, Violet + UV60, White 60, Red 20, Green 20
NO3-1 PO4-0.01 KH7.7 CA440 MG1350
After two months, all the tenuis in my tank died due to bacterial infection. Only this blue one survived, but its top part turned white and it no longer extended its tentacles.

In April 2025, an expert told me that tenuis requires low light and feed.
So, I would feed the coral food once a week, and reduce the PAR level of the light to 250.
And pink "tenuis" has also been added.
Dark Blue 100, Light Blue 100, Violet + UV60, White 40, Red 20, Green 20
NO3-3 PO4-0.02 KH8.3 CA440 MG1350
However, the pink tenuis also stopped extending its tentacles within a month.


In May, I joined NPS. Every day, I feed them the newly hatched brine shrimp.
NO3-10 PO4-0.02 KH8.9 CA420 MG1320
Dark Blue 80, Light Blue 80, Violet + UV40, White 30, Red 20, Green 20
PAR level to 200.
But Tenius was still on the verge of death.

What can i do?please help the Tenius
 
I consulted many Chinese players, but there was no good solution. I hope to find the real answer on R2R. I communicate using translation software. If there are any wrongly written words, please excuse me.
