First Corals Need Help

I just purchased a hammer, devil's hand leather, and a kenya tree. These are my first experiences with corals, and they've been placed in a stock 24 gal Nano Cube. I just introduced them on the 29th, i had added some trace elements. Just today, i performed a water change. Now, i feel that out of all these corals i've been the most successful with the hammer, its been open since the momment it was placed in the tank. Im just kinda worried about my Devil's Hand Leather and the Kenya Tree. First, the devils hand seems like its deciding to just flop over where ever i place it. I'll place it upright and then it lies down. The Leather's protrotions that extend out are hardly comming out and in a small number. Since then, i've moved it to the top most part of the aquascape to give it the most light. Second, my kenya tree seems its not as stiff as it should be. The tips of the branches are looking like closed fists. Ideally, i would like to keep both the leather and the kenya tree in the sand until i get my aquascape to where i want it. Anyone have any ideas about what's going on with my coral?
 
I have had luck with my kenya tree about halfway up in a decent flow area. Mine sometimes has a case of the droops, that's when I know it's time to feed some phyto.

Here's a shot of my cube, you can see the Kenya Tree on the right above the xenia.

Mine is also still small and is still growing into itself so to say. Do you feed your tank with any phyto for the Kenya tree?


I had a hammer in my nano, I've never had worse luck with a coral. I hope yours turns out good for you.
