Toadstools do this from time to time. It will perk up eventually.

with this one^ also they might start to get a little glossy layer on top. Toadstools she’s to keep any algae off them. People say they look better then ever after shedding and I can also agree to that

These get moody and can do this. Assure its getting medium flow to keep sediment and algae off of it or it forms a film which prevents polyps from extending. At times, gentle blasts from a turkey baster can perk it up
A little iron and potassium in the water seems to keep them happy also
