Ok so I picked up like 19 pieces of coral today from a guy who has neglected his tank for like 3 months anyways I got an orange monti the plate looking things it's half bleached and some sps that don't look to hot a bunch of zoas but they look fine a candy cane coral and some other random stuff... Anyways my question is how to I help the monti and sps recover fully
 
I would make sure your water quality is top notch to help with the SPS recovery. I would also start with them at the lowest point in the tank, then slowly move them up toward your lighting. Start with moderate flow, then get them to higher flow. In other words, ease them into your tank. They are already stressed, so the easier the acclimation, the faster they will heal up.
 
So think there was one aipastia on the trumpet any ideas

I just took the coral out and scraped the living hell out of it with my new frag tools
