Those are very bleached. I don't know if there is recovery.
 
i see polyps coming out from the stylo so i thought maybe its just bleached? and eventually could come back and no theres no slime just not the best camera im just hoping if any of em the mushroom, itll accept food i think but will never curl up like the rest was curious what that could mean
 
so then how do u save a bleached coral like that
 
That Stylo is in rough shape. You will need pristine water conditions and some luck to bring it back.

Stop feeding it for now.
