Polyp bailing out

[Illinireef]

Looks like my frogspawn polyp is bailing out. It has lost a couple tentacles this morning and been bunched up for over a day. Question is if the head does come off the skeleton, which it looks like is about to happen. Do it remove the skeleton and head from tank? I have read very unlikely that the head will survive.

Here is a picture.

The flesh is receding but I dont see this as a bail out, at least yet. What are your parameters? Is it in a high flow area?

I wouldn't say high flow. But I did move it to a lower flow area in case. It currently does look like the head is peeling up with some flow.

I did have a spike on nitrates a few days ago with it at 40ppm. My tank is usually around 15-20. Also, this is a new coral to my tank. He was placed in tank 7 days ago. I have turned off the wavemake for now.

I would find an even lower flow area or rotate it to where it isnt peeling up like that

With wavemaker off, it is getting very minimal flow. Can it reattach where it was peeling up? Thanks for suggestions.

I've never experienced this to be honest, so I am unsure if it can reattach. My assumption is that it would over time, there's a thread of someone regrowing a polyp that completely bailed out as well on here somewhere.
