Serious Dendro Problem - Help Me Nurse it Back to Health

[nmprisons]

First, Parameters:

Ammonia, Nitrate, Phosphate: 0
Salinity: 1.0253
Temp: 80
Calcium: 385 (hadn't dosed 2 part yet today)
Alkalinity: 3.85 Meq
Ph: 8.2

Now, Situation:

I was gone for the past week (corals being fed without me though). I have a 2 polyp dendro. One polyp (the smallest) didn't open at all while I was gone and now appears increadibly stressed with exposed dkeleton near the mouth and edges. The second polyp (much larger and has always been really healthy and active, is also now not openeing, but there is no exposed skeleton. It still doesn't look happy at all.

Any idea how to nurse them back to health? Should I try to feed even though they aren't extending polyps?

Everything else in tank is thriving.

Thanks a lot.

I think you can coax it to open by blowing mysis or brine across the closed polyp. then it may open few hours later or next night. At least thats what i do to the ones I get in. They usually havnt been fed in a while when i get them.
