Healing a blenny attack... some polyps have bite marks

So I added a bicolor blenny 3 weeks ago and he was a model citizen to my existing corals (added before him.) Last Saturday I added some more coral; same species of coral already in the tank (zoas and ricordea) I figured if he didn't bother the last ones, then he should be good.... well I was wrong and he was removed right away.

He took a liking to my new Zoanthids... The colony has around 35 polyps, 5-8 of which have not opened back up fully in 2 days (some semi open but other are closed tight.) I noticed one polyp has a nice bite mark in it.

Is there anything I can do to help heal them? I gave them a nice iodine/lugol's bath yesterday and added some Selcon for Vitamin C (It was added with fish food for the fish)
 
Your fine with the dip and selcon.
He was probly nipping at the algae around or on them. They are known as somewhat coral nippers if not enough algae around.
 
He was cleaning up around them at first... then really started to nip hard... luckily nothing was ripper off... just some bite marks that hopefully will heal
