Rehabilitating LPS - Need Advice

A friend has had trouble with very high nitrates, > 150 ppm. He has lost all of his corals but three which do not look good. I told him he could put them in my tank until he could get his problems fixed. One is a DFS Whisker Duncan (3 heads), one is an open brain (Trachophyllia I think), and one is a Lobophyllia. The Duncan stays shriveled up all the time. The other two are bleached pretty bad. Any chance they will recover in a proper environment or advice on how to do so? Placement, water flow, feeding advice will be appreciated.
 
I would feed mysis and cyclopeeze soaked in selcon every other day. The bleached corals have lost their zooxanthellae so they will need the feeding to acquire nutrients.
