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

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??

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
