also, is there anything on that side of the coral that the elegance touches when it's fully expanded? If those tentacles are being irritated, it might explain why just those ones are retracting.
The other thing I would closely look at is the interface where the flesh meets the skeleton. On my australian one that I showed you pictures of I discovered what turned out to be a female gall crab. It was irritating the bejesus out of coral. It looked like this:

It shriveled up pretty tight last night when the lights went out, and I took a flashlight and didn't see anything but that doesn't mean something isn't there.
I'm stressed! LOL I hate to take it out; because I hate to touch it period. It shrivels up to NOTHING at night; and opens up everyday... My lights are about to turn on for the day so I'm heading down to the basement to check it out now...

Having them shrink at night is normal , what your looking for is seperation where the flesh meets skeleton or any milky strings or mucas.

I tried iodine dips on my first one but it didn't work. My second faired a bit better with melafix and pimafix dips
The journal of it http://forum.marinedepot.com/Topic110834.aspx It lasted about a year in that same condition before dieing......in part because I couldn't keep the peppermint shrimp from stealing all it's food when the lights were out

Oh no! just when we thought we were in the clear!
FWIW I didn't start seeing the stringy mucous crap until the tentacles were totally stunted/melted off.
