It looks like some of the soa's may have some superglue on their heads and are unable to open or open partially.  What can I do to help them?
Vipers look cool at a distant, but be careful of the bite..its a killer!

Corals produce a slimey mucus which makes super glue very easy to peel off by hand. If you aren't sure it's super glue, it may be a normal function for the coral. Soft corals regularly shed, especially some palythoas and protopalythoas. You may just be seeing this layer peeling off. It should go away on its own within a week or so.

Can you just glue Zoantids, Recordea directly to live rock? Thanks!

I've had good luck gluing zoas and palys directly to rock. With mushrooms you have to wait for them to attach themselves. You can set them in a colander with coarse crushed coral and until they attach to a piece. Then you can glue the mushroom wherever you want.
