Thanks for the comments. The naso must have got scraped by rock in the move. Healed in a day. Then the next day, added 'coral snow', naso freaked out, smashed against the rock, and scraped again. Within 2 days totally healed. Did it again yesterday when I fed them. Went screaming into the live rock and came out scraped up. Today looks much better. Strange fish.
I've never had such a big fish and one that's so skittish. As far as spikes, today I did all my tests and things are looking a little off with the nitrates. Ammonia = 0 Nitrites = 0 Nitrates = 5 - 10 Ph = 8.0 Calcium =410 Mg = good So my nitrates spiked in the last 24 hours. Some Xenia has died off, but nothing else. Calms and all other corals look good. Strange that the xenia would suffer. I've never had it before but i heard it's fairly durable. Any advice would be helpful.

What a great pick up ! As for the Xenia I find they are a little sensitive to PH swings. If they are not pulsing or don't seem coordinated when they pulse could be related to your PH. They do best at around 8.3 and also lacking trace elements like especially iodide.Also keep your current on them erratic and moderate. Your spike in Ca probably just came from the substrate getting disturbed during the move. Keep the pics coming
