Frogspawn looks like deflated balloon

[starypotter]

Hi everyone,
My frogspawn was looking fine, but I've got cyano so I went in with a baster and basted near it. It shrivereld up and deflated like a wrinkled old balloon.
Today I also raised my lighting. It's always had good flow and I've already had it in this tank 2 weeks, I've had it just over a month and it's been doing great until now.
Do I move it to lower light and flow? How can I help it?
Alk has been low and I've been raising it with baking soda just a bit a day.
Nitrates always read 0. I'm waiting for the proper numbers to develop now


This is a progression of pictures taken just minutes apart. I don't know how clear it is to others but it's been retracting more and more since I first basted it.

All tests done with API, I also have a hammer coral that's doing just fine.
ALK- 10.5 up from 7 on 9/23
Calcium- 330
Nitrate- 0
Phosphate- ~.25 it's hard for me to tell, I think it's lighter than .25

There are no fish in the tank. I recently added an urchin, a few more corals, a few snails, and a few hermit crabs two days ago. My galaxea which was added at the same time as the frogspawn looks retracted even before I stirred everything up. I really overfed yesterday so I wanted to get the food out of the rocks. Yesterday I noticed one of my bristle/fire worms out of it's hole when the lights were on and again today. One of my shrimps was also in a different spot and it's usually quite the chicken about coming out of it's hole which was why I started looking at the tank in the first place.
Are there any other numbers I should be looking for? I've also lowered my lights back to where they were before.

Minutes apart... You mean you blasted it today and took pictures in the minutes after that?

Correct, I blasted under it by the stalk and it did this, I'm currently debating if it always looks this shriveled or not in the morning, whenever I've scared it before it's just retracted not deflated.

You probably just made it made by blasting it. I have a hammer that if a fish swims through it, it retracts. Just check it in the next few days.

That's what I was hoping it's just whenever I've frightened it in the past it's acted differently at least according to my memory.
