Tenuis Acro with Polyp Bailout??

[KRas1014]

So I woke up this morning and noticed my Hustler Tenuis Acro was not looking right, seems like was deflated and not happy at all. I have had this in my tank for about a little over a month and it has been looking really good and encrusting very nicely up until today. All other frags in my tank look fine. The only changes made recently was about a week ago I moved the powerbeads about an inch over to be more centered in the tank. Water params are kept very stable with a trident controlled DOS. It seems to be bailing out polyps because I am now seeing small flecks of fluorescent green swirling around in the tank. Is there anything I can do, or am I going to have to watch this thing completely shed all its flesh and die?
Picture is pretty terrible, sorry about that..

TBH some of the tenius just look like that. My WD looks just like that but continues to grow. what is your lighting situation?

I wish I had taken another picture prior to the one today, but it looks completely different than it did yesterday. Still has it nice coloring, but it just looks like its flesh is all ripped up.

do you have anything in the tank that could be a suspect of nipping on the polyps? tangs & rabbitfish are all potential suspects

Sorry forgot the lighting part.. I have it under 2 G5 XR30 Blues with a diffuser at 51% on a 48X24X20 tank. It gets about 250-300 PAR.

I do have a hippo tang and a yellow tang. Also have a coral beauty angel, but I have never seen any of them picking at the corals polyps before. If anything they may clean a bit of algae on the frag pucks.

Not to point (fin)gers, but just wanted to call out that coral beauty, like all pygmy angels are NOT reef safe. They can, and very much will nip on corals at some point down the road. If you have a coral forest you probably don't have to worry. but if you only have a few frags they can annihalate the whole thing in short order.

Yeahh I know coral beauty’s are prone to that. I was hoping I was getting lucky since I haven’t seen it nipping at any of them Yet, and do my best keeping it well fed. It’s certainly not a coral forest but I do have around 25 frags in the tank SPS/LPS mixed reef.
