Zoas closed for month+, kenya tree not attached

[olaywolay]

My zoas have been closed for a month plus with other corals doing absolutely fine, all bar one frag have been open and signs of melting have been noted, this would have been due to my frag rack being too high so i know that is not a problem as this was well before the problem occurred, the rock i had them on was pretty high too, but id have some sort of bacteria/algae which was brown (likely dinos) that would settle on the polyps which could also be a factor any ideas? theyve been in a peroxide dip and some did open after but no long term success.

Also as pictured my kenya tree isnt attached to anything? the stalk is clearly not long enough for the toothpick method, glue doesnt work and neither does elastic bands, any ideas?

also wanted to see if my finger leather is looking alright, thanks!!

You need to check your nutrients. Softies luv around 10 N03 and .08 - .1 P04 to thrive in my book.

could this definitely be the reason the zoas have been closed for so long? just check my nitrates and slowly get them up to 0.8-0.1?

.1 is very low. You need numbers without the decimal point for N03

and .1 or so for P04

sorry thats my mistake what values should be 0.8-0.1, ill check nitrates they might be too high

and .1 or so for P04

makes sense thankyou

I keep my tank at
35 salinity
78 deg temps
N03 around 10
P04 around .1
Cal. around 430

There is a lot of shading on the sandbed and where the frag rack is. Can you tell us about your lighting, intensity and tank size.
How is the flow in your tank? Is the finger leather always flopped over like that?
