When removing a stone behind ur ball , the ball moves , penalty for causing a ball at rest (not on green to move ) ??

You must replace the ball . But must u also replace the stone ?
If u dont replace the stone is it a penalty for improving ur lie also ?

Thanks in advance

Stones are loose impediments and so there is a one stroke penalty for causing your ball to move when removing one except when your ball is on the putting green. You must replace your ball but are not required to replace the stone. [Rule 15.1b]
