Brown Jelly Disease

Where the 3rd coral has what looks like a broken skeleton and there are two blobs of BJD, maybe? The picture is super close so it might not be BJD that I am looking at?

Here’s a link to a treatment thread.

First two hammer (2nd pic may be due to low calcium), rock anemone and I believe Leptoseris coral

4th coral isn't a Blastomussa; Blastomussa are phaceloid and don't encrust. I would say it's either a plocoid Leptastrea or Plesiastrea

I'm thinking favities of some sort, polyps aren't quite right for a Leptastrea
The Favites of that polyp size (pentagona clade) would not be plocoid. There are plocoid Leptastrea:

There is also the other option of Plesiastrea, which seems more likely.
