Help with Frogspawn

I have a frogspawn with 6 polups on 2 stalks. For the last 2 days, 3 of the polups on 1 of the stalks have not been opening. They have actullay been withdrawing for a few days, until they just are not comming out at all. They didnt start this until I added a couple of zoanthid frags on Monday.

Any ideas? Is this common?
 
Forgot tank parameters

Temp 76
SpG 1.023 steady
Amonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate <5.0
PH 8.2-8.3
Alk >5.0

Until just recently it has been opening fully and seemed happy.
 
Well, things seem to have gone from bad to worse. The 3 effected polups have apparntly ejected their tenticles. The other 3 on the second stalk seem to be doing fine, and are open as large as ususal.

Any ideas?

Should I cut off the now dead branch or leave it?

I am going to do a water change and I have already been running activated carbon.
 
If it were me, I would add an Iodine supplement after a good sized water change. Then cut off and remove any dead polyps and dip the rest of the coral in an iodine based dip for corals.
