It looks like red valonia algae to me. If it is don't pop any of it but get it out.

It's basically harmless but it can get everywhere and be a huge eyesore. Watch out for it even under rocks. Remove every trace you find and it shouldn't become a problem. From what I've read each ball is a single sell. One of the largest single celled organisms on the planet ( at least the green ones). Could be wrong, I read that years ago. Kinda neat!
What other inverts do you have in the tank?
With that stock list it's safe to say it isn't predation. Must me something else. Hunger?
That could easily be it. I accidentally harmed one by moving my rock around without putting him in the sump but I don't think you've redecorated. It may just be impossible to figure out without it being a guess. I hope he recovers.
What color are the polyps?
