Unfortunately your coral can't eat any of this. I see two issues, one being worse than the other.
CandyCane Corals need to eat. They eat quite a bit. They can eat stray fish food, fish waste, etc. but they must eat, they're not filter feeders. I feed mine chunks of scallops and other meaty seafood. Usually mine will extend their feeding tentacles after I have fed my fish. I can then target feed them because any food they touch will stick to their tentacles and be pulled into the mouth.
Phosphate will prevent corals from growing as well. It interferes with laying down new skeleton. Generally, a coral that isn't growing is dying. So, you also need to get your PO4 level down.
