Goni help please

[DeSoDo]

Hello,
I am having an issue with my goni coming back from a temp meltdown in June. They're both alive, but they're not growing and 1 is still bleached. I think the bleached one has feeders out, but I'm still fairly new to this. 2 years in, but first time with Goni and they were thriving 7 months ago. The larger one had almost 3" polyps at full extension. The 2nd one was and still is fairly small but was a little over .5" full extension. I currently have them just above the sandbed, but my par is still 120 down there. Help please.
TIA

The first one pretty much almost dead; all bleached out, it’s septa showing and hydroids growing on it

The second one looks salvageable.

I would feed it a lot by isolating it in a container and feeding it reefroids and amino acids

So all the little white things aren't a part of the goni? Any way to save it? I can still see the pink center of the goni. This is what it used to look like.

The white things are digitate hydroids.

Not something you want growing on the exposed skeleton of your Goni.

If you can make out the shape, you might be able to save it with time. Do you have a picture from top down?

I would keep it in a underhang somewhere and feed it every once in a while

I can take a Pic top down in the morning. Can't exactly keep it underneath anything in the sand because my tiger pistol damages everything in the sand. I'll try to figure something out on that aspect though. Thanks for the advice! I'll reply with a Pic tomorrow.

Oh, I also have 1 peppermint shrimp in the tank. Google says that they may eat them. We'll see, I guess.

Under and underhang - so shadow light?
