Kenya tree problem

I recently got some frags at a swap, and they all did well at first. Then I moved the Kenya Tree to better light and the next day the Galaxia was all closed up and hasn't really opened since, about 5 days. I then moved the Kenya Tree to another spot and now, several days later, my clove polyps which were doing great, are all closed tight. Did full tests last night,
Ph - 8.2
Alk - 2.5
Am - 0
no2 - 0
no3 - 2.5
PO4 - .2
CA - 400
In both cases the Kenya Tree is about 5" from the affected corals. Is that close enough for it to harm them? I read that they are aggressive, but I am new to them.
Please help! :help:

what does your tree look like, here is a pic of my tree, but i have been looking for the name of it for awhile. when i bought the live rock, it was a green mush pile, but now 8 months later it is this nice tree.

Need pictures to help in a conclusion but this almost may sound to be like chemical war fare......How big is the frag also if its taller than 5 inches it could be possible laying down at night and stinging the others just a thought?

I moved things to try and get them healthy but this is my Kenya Tree (that is what the guy I got it from called it). The clove polyps were below and right, about where the Linkia is.
Do corals have to touch to sting or can they "reach"?

some touch and some reach. i think the trees just touch but such things such as frogspawn can reach with stingers.

Looks like my kenya tree. Corals can put toxinos in the water change your carbon wait a day or two and everthing should start looking good again I have seen my kenya close up and look dead after adding new corals then comes back biger and beter each time.
