Colt Coral sick

I have 2 colts...1 large about 1.5 feet away from this one that routinely shrivels and "melts". It is never fully extended as when I bought it. My water;
SG 1.025
pH 8.2
Temp 83 (chiller arrived today as the temp is getting too high already but coral does this at lower temps)
Alk 9.9-10
Calcium 320+
Nitrate 5-10 (had sun polyps that were keeping them up a bit higher)

I water change every 10-14 days with RO/DI water, Seachem Reef salt, made up before hand up to temp etc,

Tank is a 65 gallon hex with a 20 gallon sump, a Coralife Aqualight pro with a 150watt halide bulb, Remora Pro skimmer...not sure what else you may need here for help but this coral needs HELP!

What about the white areas on the right of the pic? It could be interesting to take a look at the night searching for a plague, for example the nudibranch Tritonipsilla elegans, eats soft corals, and itÃ"šÃ‚´s probably the most common nudi which arrive with corals. Also some worms could be eating your coral.

Good luck!
