Accidentally got RO on coral

I was topping off my biocube 29 and I accidentally dumped the ro water right on top of my new colony of polyps. I'm not quite sure what they are, they look a little like knopias, but with pointier looking tentacles. I had only had them for a few days and they were doing really well but now they're all closed up. If that's not the issue, I've also been treating some zoas and palys that were sick, could that infect these too? Should I treat them again next time I do a dip? I just want to know what I can do to help them because they are one of my favorite corals.
 
I don't think dumping RO on top of Zoas will hurt them, shoot I used to top off with tap water right on top of Zoas and red planet, never hurt them.
 
It will be ok. They just closed up possibly from the shock of the down flow and salinity drop around the colony.

Give it some time. They will be back tomorow when the lights vome back on
