Need help with my Sarcophyton leather coral

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some advice about my Sarcophyton leather coral.

It hasn’t opened or extended its polyps for about a month. The coral is still soft to the touch and moves naturally with the water flow, but green patches that look like algae are starting to grow on its surface.

I’ve noticed that a film forms on the top of the coral. I gently removed it once, but it seems to be forming again.

All my other corals nearby are doing well, but this Sarcophyton still hasn’t opened.

Has anyone experienced something similar? What could be causing this, and what would you recommend I do to help it recover?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

What’s going on with this hammer?

Tentacles seem a bit smaller than normal. It’s been in for about a month without any issues. Water is sitting at 1190 mag currently.

My frogspawn has been like this for several months over the months it’s shrunk it was busy when i got it and everything was fine my tests are fine everything is good but it’s gotten smaller and stayed shut for a while now. It’s stopped shrinking but im not sure what to do to fix this. It fully retracts on a night and sometimes in the day nothing is irritating it. It’s been like this since before i moved it into a new tank iv had it for 5 months

URGENT HELP!! I have had one hammer die last week, didn’t think too much of it but now another wall hammer is looking dodgy like that one was before it died.

It’s not opening up fully and two parts are completely retracted and looks extremely unhappy. Please any and all suggestions for how to fix this issue are appreciated and valued

Is my toadstool and gsp cooked 🥲

(Before cleaning this toadstool to this white condition using the soft water flow, it released a huge thick brown jelly, and after cleaning, it has some small white holes like SPS bleach on it, my GSP also still doesnt open for 6 days already)
