My SPS (mainly) have looked like this for over a month (no polyp extension at all) right as I starting fighting dinos, it’s been about 2 weeks after treatment for dinos and my corals look horrible. What can I do to bring them back?

Very positive constructive input. As usual.Sell them on Craigslist
Will check them today, last time I dosed to raise nutrients I had algae go out of controlKnowing your nutrients is important. Treating for Dinos won’t do anything if your tank doesn’t have any nutrients
How long has your tank been running?Will check them today, last time I dosed to raise nutrients I had algae go out of control
8 monthsHow long has your tank been running?
Could just be your rock and sand haven’t absorbed a lot of nutrients yet. If they are truly low, adding a little bit of NO3 and PO4 won’t hurt. If they spike too high a quick water change should do the trick8 months
Idk if this counts for anything but I have some corralline growing on my powerhead, I might try dosing a little bit of nitrates and phosphates again and see what happens, my skimmer has been off for a week so they all might spike very quickly.Could just be your rock and sand haven’t absorbed a lot of nutrients yet.

This is what I was afraid of, most of the corals still have color but refuse to extendI'm in a similar boat. Dinos have been gone for about a month or 2. Unfortunately 80% corals didn't make it and rest are recovering VERY slowly. I find nothing I did helps them recover faster in fact quite opposite. The only thing helping is patience and stability.
