Default Help!! My Coalt coral and my Xenia.....

My Coalt coral and my Xenia's are slowly shrinking. What could be the problem? My water parm's are
Temp. 79-80
NO2 - <0.3
NH3- NH4- 0
KH - 0
I use a tretra test kit. I can not see anything eating or bothering them. Nothing new has been added to the tank in the passed 3 months.

Any help will be BIG HELP.

High ammonia isnt good for coral.

What type of food is added in this tank?
Its size?
Whats used for water flow?
Do you have a skimmer?
Some of your other stock?

It is a total of 180 gallons. I do have a skimmer and it runs 24/7. I have a Karola 4 in there. The pump that has the return from the sump I was told it was twice as big as what I needed. ( not sure of the size )
