The water is murky because I just got him a couple days ago and he's in QT....I do have an airstone in there and the water is murky from offering him fresh oystersWhat's going on with your murky water?
If you have an algae bloom going on... it sucks vital O2 right out of the water bc the algae is consuming it exponentially.
If your butterfly is breathing rapidly.... better get an airstone in there STAT! or pull it to put in a QT

Those are his night colors i.e. the colors that he puts on when he sleeps.

This is a HUGE stress indicator and he is most likely not to live.
The cloudy water is a very strong indication of bacterial bloom and this means that the tank is cycling.
I would highly suggest multiple large water changes. This is not a good place to be.
It does sort of look like this species' night coloration, and that can also be brought on by stress.I just did a large water change seconds ago
Thank you Jay, I was actually unaware their nighttime coloration was so pronounced and feared the worst (this is actually my first butterfly)...it was the middle of the night here when this picture was taken although he's probably a little stressed as well. Sorry for the false alarm.It does sort of look like this species' night coloration, and that can also be brought on by stress.
