Those three types of soft coral close up very quickly if their environment changes even a little bit or if they are blasted with a surge of water. Its normal and nothing to be concerned about.

Instant Ocean salt will leave a film of slime on the sides of whatever container it is mixed in. A clean glass of water sitting on your kitchen counter top will also collect air bubbles after several hours. I'm no chemist but I think its caused by oxygen diffusing out of solution and clinging to the friction of the clean surface. Again, this is normal and nothing to be concerned about.

Thanks for all that, puts the mind at ease a bit. Everythings starting to get better again slowly, its pretty dumb too cause as soon as i was done i shook my head cause i knew exactly what i did. I think like everyones saying, just too much too quickly. Ill get this whole salt thing here eventually.
