    Your nitrate's are high, are any other corals reacting? what is your lighting? can u see the foot? or has it moved?
    like i said tho just watch it, might be digesting ect. were the lights on or off? just keep an eye on it - if it starts to turn white or starts to move around the tank then you should be more concerned

    I thought that nitrate should be between 5 to no more than 30, the lighting was off. I have 2 blue led that turn on @ 10 to 12 then t5 blue @12 to 2 the Blue plus whites @2 to 8 then start to turn off the same way.
    It hasn't moved since I placed it in that rock, I think you can send the leg in the picture to the right side.
    Other corals looking good.

    Now that the led are on its going down, I guess you are right they do crazy stuff when the lights are off.
    Thanks for replying thank you so much I was really scared.

    How many gal is your tank?
    Do it slowly - just replace the top up with saltwater at 1.024 or the desired salinity
