Can these be saved?

[ab-774819]

So I recently traded some mushrooms for these acanthophyllia due to them not being in the best condition. 1 of them is worse off than the other but I'm very hopeful they can be saved, just need some fellow reefer suggestions or tips. I recently had a pretty bad ALK spike of 12.9 that made 1 of them (the one I like more, of course) significantly worse. I got it under control but the damage has been done. Any advice would be really appreciated. I also would like to know if the flesh would eventually grow back over the skeleton? I've included photos of when I first got them and then from today. Thanks again.

If I can save these, it'll be the trade of the century!!

The second one maybe/probably/possibly. The first one will be a challenge

What mushrooms did you/ do you have

^ agreed, keep them in low flow and light. Im not sure you can get the fist one to eat but try feeding mysis.

I traded for 2 powerball bounce babies, I still have the mother shroom. But I also have a blowtorch bounce, some circus bounce, a WWC OG bounce, and some jawbreakers. Of course some odds and ends mushrooms too

I'm not sure how the guy I got them from saved the green ones mouth, but it sends out feeding tentacles and everything. The worse one seems to have a portion of its mouth still and I fed some mysis today that seemed to get eaten. Oh I hope miracles can come true lol

This is this afternoon. The more colorful one has stopped receding. Never wanted a coral to survive more than that one lol

Your water conditions have to be spot on

This guy is still kicking.. I can see small bits of flesh starting to grow back on the skeleton where it hadn't completely fallen off. I've been using brightwells line for coral care. Restor, koral-VM, and Koralcolor. Idk if it's helping but hopefully it isn't hurting. Its taking mysis easily and will hopefully continue to improve.

Haha the green one has gotten bigger and is almost a complete circle again... the colorful one unfortunately didn't make it.

This is this morning. I ended up cutting off the excess skelton.
