What could’ve ticked the one off on the left? I literally dripped distilled water for a top off and the one on the right seems fine..

No worries. Xenia is extremely hardy & honestly can easily become invasive. I no longer have any in my tank & can’t say exactly what’s going on with yours but rest assured heads within the colony I did have showed this behavior pretty frequently. You need to worry if the coral looks slimy or begins to look as if it’s melting.

Got it, thank you [emoji1360]
 
Mine do that sometimes but then 30 minutes later they are back to normal. I have no idea why. But they look good.
