I'll start out by saying that wall Euphyllia are usually short lived at best. Now that's out of the way, what are your water parameters and how old is your tank. Also need to know what are the water flow conditions where it is sitting and what do you have for lighting. What appears to be a Duncan above it isn't doing well and your anemone looks bleached, none of which look good in any way.
Also wish to add that your pictures look very Photoshopped.

I asked for Parameters please not if it was good or not. I asked specific questions to help you with your very sick corals and anemone. You have a problem and we need this in order to properly help you find out what it is.
In your last pic your tank appears way to small for both of those tangs and what appears to be a gonipora up top is also not doing so hot. I'm not bashing you, I'm asking questions to help you

Tank size has nothing to do with dosing, but it does have something to do with keeping those two tangs.
You really can not keep corals without those three kits for Alk, Mag and Cal. Those are very important to the health and growth of stony corals. Wall Euphyllia like I said before don't have good track records but all of your corals look pretty bad. What salt are you using?

That's not reef salt for corals. What I was looking for is on their website and once again this is Marine salt not Reef salt. Here is from their website.
Salinity PH Cal Mag Alk Nitrate Phosphate
I had to add the bottom row to correspond with the values in the chart. These values are not good to support corals, they are for plants, inverts and fish only, not corals!
You really need to learn how to research this stuff. It's as easy as going to Google.com and entering in what you wish to know,.
Here is the link to Omega Marine salt website

And Omega Reef salt

You're welcome! At this point you should go to the stickies above this and read Setting Up sticky. It's got everything you need to learn. Yes change your salt to the Reef one. You can use Omega if you want. I use Instant Ocean Reef Crystals. Go to the LPS forum and look at my thread called New Additions and you will see my tank and most of my corals. I've got some new ones to add and will update more pictures as I get them. This is my build thread per se.
Here is the link to my thread.
