I have an Elegance in my sand bed for a couple months now. I have started to notice only half is opening normal (past 2days)and the other half looks like it has something on it. It is not fully opening. Kind a stays small with no tentacles releasing. It looks like the side with the issue has fishing string or something on it

Sudden changes in water quality, like right after a water change, can cause this but usually for just a couple of days. Your elegance appears highly stressed.
It is probably ill. Do you know if it came from Australia or from a different collection area?

I'm due for a water change soon. I do every two weeks. Water has been getting better parameters are such alkalinity 9.2 calcium 455 magnesium 1380 salinity 1.024
 

I think I may have ECS. Not sure what to do ? Take it out of the tank. I am new to this.
