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!
Enjoy a timelapse of these zoas opening up f🔥🪸
Please any advice why my two heads have retracted on my Duncan I've read they could be growing all parameters are good kind regards

Update: Torch is fully extended this morning, looking great 😁
Bought some branching hammers however this is what they look like. Should I be concerned or is this normal
Need some help identifying this one. It’s Stoney and during the night it retracts leaving a bunch or bumps/spines sticking up.
What do you think about these polyp expansion?🪸 Run my tank on Modern Reef RKS.
Does anyone have any tips for this Gani? I got it for free and the guy said that he could never get it to open up.
New polyps growing!
Update on the Duncan and the shrimp starts to come out more during feeding
