+1 on the feeding with phyto and zooplankton...

I've been reading a lot about the nutrition of nonphotosynthetic and photosynthetic invertebrates and would say that this will probably help. Though they may be too far gone at this point, and (depending on your system) feeding heavily could cause an algae outbreak without good nutrient export. Spot feed them too, with a pipette or something, so you know the phyto/zoo culture is getting directly to them.

And welcome to Canreef. Never a dull moment around here.
