could one of the below issues.
if your .system is SPS dominant LPS will not do too well and slowly wither away.
Water movement is a big thing for SPS but LPS need a more settle flow.
High emission light is best for SPS and LPS but need very slow and gradual acclimation although LPS don't require the intensity.
In a mix reef system its best to keep up with your Carbon as it removes all chemical warfare.
Are you sure the fish you have are not bothering or picking on your LPS.
Your water parameter seems fine.
Like the earlier post always a photo helps.
Are you dipping your new corals.

Your water permameters are fine so I don't think it would be that. I have a mixed reef loaded with sps and LPS. I have my sps up top and LPS on the bottom. I have my flow cranked at 100% and I never have any issues. However I have noticed that without wrasses in my tank for a few months the amphipods will get out of hand and eventually mow all my LPS. And for those non believers I have pics. They ate my acans, ricordias, zoas, and even some chalices. They only come out at night making it very hard to see. If I were you I'd go look at your tank a few hours after your lights go out. It's possible you could be having the same issue. If you have wrasses or other predator fish though then it could be something else.
