Serious coral rescue!!

My buddy have me his corals to try and rescue. Hollywood stunner Miami hurricane chalice, magician paly, zoas, octospawn, 4 different acan lords. How should go about rescuing them!?

just as with healthy corals, stability is key. you could also place any bleeched corals in the shade and slowly introduce them to higher light. additionally, feeding some of the LPS will probably aid them. however, sometimes the CUC (mostly the hermits in my case) damage the corals when trying to steal food so do so with caution.

I agree. I only use snails in my tank now because the crabs bothered the crabs bothered the corals too much.

Ok. Nothing is bleached but the Hollywood stunner. The acans have some bad tissue recession but they are starting to open in my tank and extending tentacles out when I fed the tank. The large zoa colony hasn't opened yet and the magician palythoas started opening today as well as the octospawn.

+1 on Stability! And if you do bring them all back to good health, ensure your buddy's tank is good to go before just dumping them back into the place that got them that way in the first place.
