After move coral help!!!!

i recently just got a 55 gallon about two weeks ago and it came with a frogspawn, leather coral, and a kenyi tree. The frogspawn didnt even look happy when i got him so i moved him to a different part of the tank and it popped one of its heads off and its laying in the sand. it looks healthier than the rest of the frogspawn that looks like its dying. should i just leave it in the sand and let it grow if it will?? the leather coral is not extending fully but only like half way. this started a day or two ago. two mushrooms are touching it but i didnt know if that was the problem or not. i tried removing the mushrooms but its pretty difficult to take them off the rock. any advice?

my parameters are little off since its cycling from the move.
salinity- 1.024
alk-9.1
calcium-450
nitrate-20
nitrite-0
ammonia-.25
phosphates-20

How much deeper would the ocean be if it didn't have sponges?

deff lower your ammonia, and nitrates are not good as well.
