is it possible my candy coral will revive?

[Ballyhoo]

my tank is approaching 11 weeks old. But about four or five weeks ago I did a rookie thing, when my live rock got covered completely in some form of algae, I decided to get an auto scrubber i.e. battery powered scrubber, and I went in the tank and scrubbed all the rock clean inside the tank and when I did it by the next day candy cane regressed and the SPS next to it bleached white. I don't have much hope for that SPS but I'm wondering if my candy cane will ever revive. Other corals are doing OK since then, but I guess it was a pretty stupid thing to massively clean or remove all the algae from the dry rock inside the tank where it released so much material and changed the parameters and damaged some coral. The toad stool seem to survive but rarely shows polyps and not really sprouting . actually lost two SPS. typical rookie thing buying things like SPS in a brand new tank throwing money away before parameters are stable enough to sustain them. I do feel like I'm turning the corner and getting better parameters. Torches seem to do OK but it's the candy cane I'm wondering if it will ever come back.

Is there any flesh left inside the heads? If so. It just may come back.

I'm sorry but the candy cane looks like toast to me, its just skeleton, sorry for that.

Definitely doesn’t look hopeful, but it wouldn’t hurt to leave it alone and cross your fingers.

well that's what i get for getting a lot of coral so early on i suppose.

They don’t love a lot of light. If there is any tissue at all put it low in the tank and cross your fingers.
