With the low bioload I'd be looking at your rock/sand. Moving the rock may have opened some new areas to increased flow which could now be purging. Prodibio might need some time to catch up.

Aquavitro fuel - their website says that it's a vitamin, amino acid, carbohydrate, vitamin and trace element supplement. This is going back to first year organic chem, but I didn't think phosphorous was a significant component of any of those molecules, they're predominantly made of H, O, C, N, and S. Though I suppose 'trace elements' leaves the door wide open for just about anything to be in there.

Unless there's something else in that product with phosphorous in it, I wouldn't suspect it would be the culprit.

Fuel has a substantial amount of cholera(bad spelling) when it breaks down and is not skimmed out would this not turn into po4

Good read on phosphates

And you will be amazed how slow they get back their color I find bonsai to be a very slow color gainer.

Another coral that I found to loose color in matter of hours is red planet. Took few hours to go from deep red to pale green (if you remember, you called it pink lemonade or something )
