I would just do a 15% water change making sure that the salinity and pH of the new water is exactly the same as what's in the tank now. Then, after about three hours, do that again. It should be fine and I doubt that there's going to be any real harm.

Your xenia might have been temporarily irritated by some aspect of the change in the nature of the water but I'd doubt that it would have any permanent or serious consequences.

Don't we know it. Do you have any zoanthids in there with the Koran and Coral Beauty angelfish?
