Elegance coral

[garan]

Hi, i ahd been keeping this for the past one month, it very healthy all along, until 2 days ago, somethink funny happened to him, the polyps start to blown uo like a ballon and the tentacles too, and it refused to open up fully. i even notice that the bottom tentacles some were like a defrat ballon.

So did anyone know what had happen to him? is it beacuse it had taken wrong food, as few day back when i was feeding my button coral, the prawn meat been taken up by him. but i dont think so, as i knew that they do take prawn, correct me if i am wrong.

Or is it beacause it had too strong current going against it, cse last week i had just shift my PH so that my hammer and octo and get the wave pattern.
