My acanthophyllia was looking not the best before leaving for thanksgiving, now I have come back to it looking worse. Any advice on how to care for it is appreciated?

These like to eat as well as photosynthesize energy.

Move it into the light and feed it lightly,
 
They really like meaty food, but it’s not looking up for it you might try some spot red RedSea ab+ on top of it to give it some energy. Photo is important too, but moving it will stress it out so it’s hard to know what’s right to do. If it is sending out feeders, I would suggest a chunk of oyster or clam that’s not terribly large. I have had some luck dropping one or two fauna marine lps pellet on them as a start, but I think a liquid food might be better and less work for it to take in.
