My corals were perfectly happy untill 2 days ago, i havent changed the rock recently, water perams. are perfect, frogspawn is decently far away, especially from the xen, all my zoa's are happy, my clam is happy, etc. just the kenya and xen, not to mention the kenya has turned purple?

Not uncommon for softies to shrink like that once in a while. I think its how they purge waste from their system. My Kenya does that every few weeks for a day or two. If everything else looks happy, I'd give it few days
