This was the first piece of coral I got in my tank, and I placed it in an area with way too intense lighting, and it started to bleach out pretty bad, then later on I accidentally hit one of the heads cleaning the tank. Months later, the color returned and it's getting nice growth on one side... is the other side toast? It still looks like it has good coverage of the skeleton, but it's sure taking forever to see any kind of healing on that side.

On a side note, is it too close to the rhodactis?

Too much light also now
Second head be not well
I will place it in a place with more actinic and low white
And take an eye on second head
 
The one looks great. The other looks retracted but healthy. I agree low light.
