There is a lot of coral in both your pics, so I must speculate that you are referring to the corals that are pointing down? First, check your water temp with a different thermometer, they might be overheating. Did you recently do a water change? Check your specific gravity, again preferably with another instument. A shift in specific gravity can cause this. And sometimes, they just flop over as they are deflating to expel wastes. Might be nothing wrong at all.

You have algae perhaps phosphates ... the picture of the coral is kinda not sharp so it's hard to tell anything.

Do you know anyone with a digital camera? You can't get any good info with the webcam quality, it's just a guessing game...

they seem to me that they are just closing. mine do it sometimes, usually when i agitate them, it's nighttime, or they're trying to tell me somethin's wrong. check basic water parameters, and if they all check out, they're fine. they'll open back up later, maybe tomorrow.

Might need more flow. Most leathers love good flow. When they grow and get big they sometimes block the low that they once had. Not to mention pumps and powerheads growing old and wearing out.

does not look like they have healthy poly expansion. better pics would help.
from my experience I'd check your water parameters and possibly increase your flow. when was your last water change?
