So I've had these poor little things for 6 months in a spot that I thought would be great for them. They looked terrible after shipping and never really recovered, even with feeding. While doing some redecorating I decided to move the coral. It's now in an area of really high flow and is making a comeback!
I should have known. If I had only paid more attention to my healthy hitchhiker filter feeding Bivalve, that they are placed just above now 😉

Glad they are making a comeback for you!
 
Do you have them in the shade or in a low light area as well? They look bleached out. Also, many underestimate just how much these corals feed. You could try to increase feedings as well with a variety of meaty foods.
Glad they are recovering, sun corals are quite beautiful!
 
They have been in shad he whole time. They began to lose their color when they started going backwards. Now they are getting much more flow.
