That is normal. Let them settle in, they will go back in.

is it a brown slime or brown tenticles keep an eye on them if it seems to be slimey sound like a bacterial infection whats ur lighting / water parameters where they in the tank u got them from vs ur tank too much lighting and they can fry like that too good luck

It looks like strings coming from them, we did all our tests today everything is fine 100% we have t5s and the tank we bough them from they were at the very top so we put ours in the middle should I take them out??

not yet they wont harm anything for now see what there doing could be feeding tenticles although there usually clear i have had colonies or mushrooms when stressed go brown u may lose a few pylops but kep an eye on them

it all depends where u pick up ur live stock try to find a solid store with live stock and good suppliers and slick setups check out Josh and Lando at marine aquaria if u have not yet make them give u a tour of the coral tanks equipment and u will know ur getting very healty product try to pick stuff that has been in the store a few days as well pick a store and shop there once they get to know u they will hold stuff for u so u now its good
