I have had my haddoni for about two weeks now in QT. It mouth is slightly open yet, but has planted its foot on the bottom of the tank firmly. I noticed the other day a few tentacles almost disappeared down to a nub almost. Well today I noticed the area is growing. Almost to a quarter size now. So far testing has shown parameters to be right on, with nitrates being a bit high, but I am doing daily water changes to bring them down. So far it has been 5-10 ppm at most.

What the heck is going on?
 
There are two clowns in there, false percs. No inverts. There was one turbo snail till yesterday.
