Low light & low flow are best during recovery. It is a photosynthetic coral so some nutrition is coming from the lights, so a completely shaded location isn't good. Even a 100% healthy scoly will do best in low light IME.
Feeding is key. IME the feeding tentacles only come out at night, usually several hours after the lights go out. So check late at night. Chopped meaty foods like lysis shrimp are ideal if the animal can take them. If it's a week response, don't overfeed - it's best to feed a little less but more frequently during the recovery period. If response is very weak with only antes feeding tentacles showing, spraying the tentacles with small foods like cyclopseeze or similar may be in order. If you see no tentacles out, turn off the pumps late at night (set the alarm!) and while the water is still, place a few mysid shrimp on it and see if it responds. Maybe even scent the water prior to feeding with the water used to thaw out the mysis cube. I think the chances of success are lower with artificial pellet food so I recommend trying frozen.
Someone once told me to eliminate any night time ambient light your house may have during a recovery period...street lamps outside etc. Never needed to try this myself however. Good luck & welcome to RC.
