new zoas dying

I recently bought new zoa/palys and all are doing ok except two frags.

On one of the frags all but two of the polyps did not extend and I think died. Today I found something had ate all of the dead polyps leaving only the two. I feed vary sparcely and I am not surprised that something that died in the tank got consumed. The remaining polyps are not extending now and I believe nuisance algae is also effecting thier extension.

Another of the frags is not extending fully and is being affected by nuisance algae.

I cleaned both frags using an old tooth brush and moved them down further in the tank so they are not being blasted by light.

My question is this. Can I do anything to save these frags or are they on the road to zoa heaven.
