Did you check your water parameters....Rocks can harbor a good amount of beneficial bacteria...I would imagine you are having a bacteria bloom or possibly an ammonia spike or both....I would test ammonia possibly a large water change might clear things up. If everything is in line use some carbon and floss to buffer the water...should clear up pretty fast.

A clowdy tank means something is out of wack...definately check your parameters, ammonia esp. maintain accordingly...if there is ammonia present you should add an ammonia locking product like prime and/or a water change...You wouldn't want to leave it if something is wrong and loos any fish.
