Why did you have to move them out of the light? If they are zoos then they are very hardy, try moving them back where they were and see if they open.

It may have been shedding. Leave it alone!! Even if it is brown algae, when the polyps come out they will block the light and kill it.
The one I thought was a plate coral...the skeleton makes me reconsider. That does not look like a plate skeleton. But it will still eat meaty foods. Every LPS I can think of will...

Here is a pic of the encrusting gorgonian that "I used to have", does it (no.4) look like this??

Back to number 4... If the "mat" was pink or fuschia colored it would be an easy ID as green star polyps. However, since it is tan in color, I think you will find this interesting.
These polyps are also green but it is a different coral called (Briareum stechel)
I found an info link and I hope it works...
