I would focus on salinity, waterfow and mainly lighting. Start dim and gradually increase par. Mine like blues
 
I'm really sorry to hear about the torch :(
What is your light g schedule? Do you know what par they are getting? I used nopox for over a year and alot of people have told me that euphyllias tend to not like it. I'm having the same problem you have and I have quit the nopox and still have the same result. Your Phosphate seems a little high and your Nitrate seems a little bit low. LPS corals seem to like the water a little bit more dirty then other corals. Like stated above I would move it to a low flow area and reduce the lights a little and see if it recovers. How long has your system been running for?

its now running for about 13 months so just a little over a year,
how much par they get im not sure and light scheduel around 9-12 hours a day mostly blue
and ill try to move it to a lower flow are but the thing is the other one is getting alot more flow and stronger lighting for my idea :confused::confused:

That is very unhappy. What kind of flow is it getting? I’d move it to a low flow area to start.[/QUO
at the moment medium to high ill place it to a low flow area as multiple people sugest.

Stability is a big thing. Leave the one doing well in the very spot it is in and move the other to a lower flow area and feed it and see how it responds
 
well the thing is he never ate anything like never, not pellets frozen not even reefroids

Try again lower current which may have been cause and effect
