Hey guys! I'm looking for guidance! I did a bit of rearranging today, but did not move my rhodactis at all. He's been happy and looking great. However, I checked in about 2 hours after placing some other plugs around the tank and he's shriveled up (half his size) and extruding filaments. Not sure if these are mesenterial filaments - I thought those typically came from the mouth?? Is he just upset or is there something else I need to look for? Sorry I couldn't get it to focus any better...

Edited to add: the plugs I placed have been acclimating in a frag rack for near 2 months, so nothing *new* went into the tank...

Parameters:
SG 1.0255
Temp 78
Calc 365 (tank runs 360-380)
Alk 9.1
NO3 2.0
PO4 0.05
