Your nitrates are really, really high for a reef. You need to get those way down. I would say below 5ppm. I'd do 50% water changes daily to get it down.

That can be an issue too. Inverts are really really picky about nitrates. Get the fuge as soon as you can :)

Totally a nitrate issue for sure & water change is a must.
