IMO the Cal is high. I think 465 is max for SPS, less for LPS but still safe at 465. Nitrates 5-15ppm aren't bad. It's actually beneficial for corals. What's floating around in the water in the video. White specks everywhere. Any chance you did a water change recently?

Turn them upside down and check for pests where the flesh meets the skeleton.

Your torch corals look super healthy and vibrant! Sometimes frogspawn can get picky with flow or lighting changes so maybe try adjusting those a bit to see if they perk back up.

Sometimes frags take a bit to adjust when they’re on the sandbed rather than rock. Your alk and cal look solid but that nitrate is a bit high for LPS, might stress them out. Maybe try lowering nitrates and see if they bounce back!
I’ve been running my nitrates 5-10 for the longest. I’m suspecting it might be a light issue . I recently had a power outage and I had to redo my light schedule and it’s been years since I touched them and do not remember the setting. Right now I’m only using 50 % intensity with 2 hydra 32’s
