hardly being dismissive but lots of variables cause this ,it’s common and usually it’s temporary…assuming a actual priority issue, .sometimes a simple water change will fix it….
tank parameters info helps
edit add: tank looks fine up close, nothing jumps out

My nitrate was high along with phosphate I ran out of micro bacter 7 and was told fritz zyme 9 was better .....be honest how much worse did I make this algae start up ....its 5 days in I notice green dust on the glass and a light fuz on rocks

The big leather opens and contracts but no polyps and the toaststool does nothing and the finger leather was a good size and has shrank to a small green bump on the frag plug
Any way its been about a month since I've seen polyps on either
 
I hate to say do little/nothing especially if something is wrong but I’ve had leathered look unhappy for weeks until a water change or some environmental change wakes them up …. wish I had specifics but other than some trace deficiency I can only speculate…

as for nitrate/phosphate/water quality issues; usually the hard corals would show stress signs first .., I don’t see that in your picture
 
mine reacted badly to large water changes. i tried someone's approach, and only do 2 gallons a week. it loves it. tank is 45
