    Not sure what 9 drops is, do you have a dKH?

    9 drops doesn't tell us what your alkalinity reading is, what's the actual dkh? Target feeding isn't gonna bleach your corals. Sometimes certain corals just don't do well. You need to get a magnesium test kit so you can monitor correct levels. I'm thinking your problem lies in unstable chemistry. Mag, calcium and alk stability are key in growing corals. Keep an eye on your temp swing too. Also, that's alot of light for that tiny tank, watch your photo period. There's no need to spot feed in that tank.
