Hi I had this sitting at the bottom of my tank..I just raised it up hoping to get the coloration back...*** happened here..

Is that picture where you have them now? Or where you had them? Because if that is where you had them, I'd turn down your lights, they are crazy bleached, but those in the shade look better.

No like I said they were in the sand I for months..I just move them today on that spot today

What kind of lights? Tank depth?

Make sure to spot feed them fairly often till color returns.

+1 spot feeding and amino acids. In my experience, lps will straight melt if they get put in too much high light, but will lose color in not enough light/low nutrient situation. I used to go to an lfs regularly to rescue bargain lps that had bleached white and I would spot feed them until they colored back up, then sell them back to other lfs for sps.
