Did a good cleaning of the tank and since then my red planet has looked weird. The front half is open and fully extended but the back half is basically closed up. Anyone ever see anything like this before?

Assure your alk-salinity-ph-CA hasn’t changed
 
Something is irritating that side I guess. Any corals upstream from that side that could be sending out some stingers? A rogue crab or fish? A change in flow?

Nope no changes at all.
 
Be patient. Wait a few days and see if it opens back up. Resist knee-jerk reactions.
 
Is it possible the water clarity is better since cleaning and it’s getting higher light on that side than before? I saw this happen in my tank years ago when I added ozone.

Didn't think of that. I guess it's certainly possible.
