Devil's hand going to molt?

This is my first leather in my tank.
It looked pretty good the first few days in the tank.I've had it in the tank for a week now.Then it never fully opened up.The polys don't come out anymore and there seems to be a funny discoloration on the fingers.All other softies in the tank look fine.I noticed that the polyps showed more at actinic light the first few days so I moved it to the side of the tank.
I have 2 powerheads(MJ900,MJ1200)from opposite ends.
My lighting is 260watts PC over a 55 gallon.

SG 1.026
Alk 8 DKH
Ca 425 ppm
Temp. 78 deg.
No bad stuff found
Dose ESV B-Ionic 2 part

Here's a Picture:

Looks like it could be getting ready to shed, either that or it's being stung by another nearby coral. My Devils hand seems to be particularlly sensitive to nearby mushrooms, etc.

No kidding,mushrooms bug it?
There's a frogspawn in the front but way lower.
I watched it's sweepers to make sure it couldn't reach.
