Trouble w/Xenia

I have been having a lot of trouble with my xenia in the last few months. It all started when I had a temp spike up to 88 or so degrees. I lost my monster colt, which I removed as soon as I caught him dieing off but he had decayed some, anyway this was about a month ago or so now. The xenia which used to be plentify and run most of the top of the tan (around 4 feet long) has all but died back to about 15 stocks and still doesnt look that healthy. Im a bit at a loss on what I am missing with it. I have done several water changes, not changed the light cycle at all and the temp is stable again at 81.
Water parameters:
ph 8.3
sg 1.024
nitrates 0
nitrites 0
nh3 0
alk 4.00
ca 450

do you have one of those grounding wires in there? from what i have read xenia along with tangs and other delicate corals and fish are extremly delicate when it comes to stray voltage in the tank. if you dont have one i would recomend you to getting one, if you have one already then wait for someone with more exp. to help you out.

No I dont dose anything except kalk, ca and dkh buffer as needed.
My tangs, and all fish are fine, also so are all the other corals.

the coraline is still growing at a quick rate. nuissance algae is none/very small amount.
