Yes, they will come back.

Never judge a LED Fixture by its watts, or simple colour of LED...Some less than 120 Watt Fixtures are over twice as bright as the standard 120 Watt Import with the same tank coverage.

Its like comparing Car Engines...V8...Ok what type???

There are a huge number of variables that make some fixtures better or less than others. Unlike Old School MH we knew some 10K had more PAR than some 20K...Not true with LEDs...

Reefing Madness is right they will come back.

If they are severely bleached you may have to feed them.

LEDs are brighter than advertised. Acclimation is key and some SPS wind up looking much better other loose some of their colour as with any change in light.
