Ok guys, Yesterday I recieved my first 2 fish (orange and black clownfish) and 1st LTA. I acclimated the LTA for an hour using the drip method, he was shipped with the foot up and hardly any water. I dug a little hole for him in the sand and put him as I was adding the fish I noticed my scarlet cleaner was on top of the LTA and was pulling him out of the sand. I moved the LTA and the shrimp didn't bother him but when I moved him the water got really cloudy. When I woke up this morning he was on his side foot out of the sand in the same spot I put him last night and he looked more closed up than he has been. Any ideas or suggestions?

I have a 35 gallon tank with a 303 gph canister and 425 gph and 27/28 white and blue LEDS
 
How long has your tank been set up?

Did you see the bottom of the foot? Was there any damage at all? Even a pin sized hole would be an issue.

Do you have a picture of it?
 
It has been set up for 3 months the foot looked fine from what I could tell didn't really know what to look for it was bright red and didn't look to be damaged and the only photo I have of it is when I first put it in

To be honest, doesn't look great in that picture.

What do you mean by "Phosphates less than .25 " because .24 would still be really high for phosphates.

What other (( if any )) filtration do you have?
 
I have 31 lbs of live rock and 20 lbs of live sand and when I checked my phosphates I use api test kits and the color wasn't quite zero or the color for .25 it was in between
