Hammer coal deflated and throwing up gray/brown slime. Had it for 3 weeks and was doing fine until I feed it around 5 days ago. Water parameters are in check ✔️. Need some help figuring out what's wrong

What kind of light and flow do you have in the tank? How old is the tank? It looks so sad all alone on the sand like that.

. Flow is slow mid. Tank is 4 moths old. Light is the one that came with the tank* 13.5 Evo stock light
I will be getting more corals soon so it's not so sad but not sure what's going on with them/it - just that coral for now and some clownfish + hermits

The way the polyps are laying down while extending, looks like it’s not getting any flow?

That flow looks strong and one sided.... it should be a random flow, the polyps should flow back and forth
