Coral are being starved of po4 by the algae is my guess, I've had very similar situation, zoas closing up and withering away, added some phosphates for about a week or so and within 2 weeks they were opening again and looking better, but algae grew more rapid so now I'm not dosing phosphates,algae is getting back to normal so I'm hoping I balanced it out a little with more feeding, my, my next plan is more fish so I can feed more
