I too am battleing the same thing. I am currently pursuing the "I shouldnt have changed salt" theory. Really it can only be related to either/or Lighting, Pests, or water quality. Find out which one(s) it is and you have your problem solved. I have currently been working on mine for 2 months now

I battled something similar that got progressively worse for months. I checked everything and finally found out it was stray voltage. I had even checked with a volt meter but that didn't read anything. Figured it out when I stuck a cut finger in the tank.

To make a long story short, I replaced the heater that was leaking electricity and added a ground probe for good measure and had polyp extension again within 12 hours. Corals are now doing great and even a few that i thought were goners have come back.
