Algae happens.

Your feeding schedule seems way wrong to me.
Everyone has there own way but feeding every other day and three times within that day seems odd. So there's a good chance that they are not eating all the food.
Do you have any clean up crew members?
Also there are utilitarian fish that can be added.
What lights do you have and if they are LED what spectrums do you have set?
White lighting will grow more Algae.
 
With your Nitrite and Phos at 0 could be the reason the corals are stressed.

But honestly your corals look good to me.
