The leather coral is still alive but is unhappy. Leather corals are soft corals and when they die they start to fall apart and turn into a smelly mushy pile.

If the corals do well in the nano tank but not the big tank, there is something wrong with the big tank. Probably water quality.
When was the last time you did a water change?
How often do you normally do water changes and how much do you change?
Do you make up the salt water or collect it from the beach? If you make it up, how do you go about making it and how long after you make it do you use it?
What is the salt level?

How long are the lights on for?

Keep an eye on the anemone in the nano tank, it doesn’t look happy.

Yeah the pushing of the foot through the mouth and the inability to latch on is probably a sign that the nem is on the way out, sorry

Glad you took it out of there, the first sign of disintegration is the first sign that its time to get him out of there quick like.

Starting the tank from scratch might fix the problem for a while but there is something going on in your tank that is preventing the corals/ anemones from doing well. Possibly try doing a couple of 75% water changes each week for a few weeks and see if it makes any difference to the corals that are left. Check the filter and make sure it si working properly. Increase water movement and aeration/ surface turbulence. Do a gravel clean and see how things respond. It could just be the tank has a little too much gunk in and that is preventing things from doing really well.
