I am not giving up on them 100% quite yet besides the one which was blown away after arriving a skeleton.
I've never dosed vit C in the tank (generally I like to keep on top of my water changes and refrain from dosing but I will read up on this b4 dosing)

it may takle some time, since they are in a fragile state start them in lower light and make sure no brown algae is covering their heads. vit c is easy to dose just get the tabs from the drugstore crush it up and add to a high flow area. it will really help get your zoas open...look into it its good stuff just dont overdose

good luck and cheers
