    Some of them can be a bit tough to acclimate it seems...but they certainly can recover...lower/indirect light will probably help IME...Fungia can actually sometimes appear completely dead but if you leave them alone in good conditions they will grow new babies from the "dead" skeleton.

    They are one of the most resilient LPS corals.

    Unless it's a Long Tentacle plate. Then it might be doomed.
