Well about 8-10 months ago i bought a Rose Milli frag, for some reason the frag didnt take to well and pretty much withered away. No STN or RTN, just no PE, color fading, etc... Well anyways, i kept it the tank because the skin never turned white, it was green, but looked like it was dead. Well today after doing a good tank inspection, i noticed that the Rose Milli had some small PE on the small areas of green that were left. I am thoroughly excited since this was one of my favorite frags when i purchased it. Ill see if i can get some pics within the next few days, might be difficult since its REALLY small pieces of it are coming back to life.
Rose Milli back from the dead.

It is probably coming back it is amazing what sps can come back from that is why i never take them out of my tank if they look dead.
any changes you made to your tank which contributed to its resurrection?
or was it just long term acclimatization? just curious
not really. all my other SPS have been doing great and growing like weeds.

PO4 and Nitrates have NEVER been detectable in this tank. Used 3 different test kits when a friend of mine didnt believe me.
I have a Upgraded Octo NW200 skimmer and a 30 gallon fuge with a HUGE ball of chaeto and I do not over feed.
I had something similer happen to a monti cap. Was my first ever hard coral and it turned bone white in less than a week. Before I took it out I had an urchin pick up the frag and drop it upside down behind my rocks so I just left it there. After 4 months I was reaquascaping and found the little guy and noticed it was still alive and looking rough. Nursed it back to health and looked great until the big tank crash that took everything out.

It's probably having issues with the placement. You should have moved it to see where it was the happiest. Water movement plays a huge role in how well sps thrive. Our club just hosted Dana Riddle this weekend and the main topic was water movement. It's really more important than lighting in some respects.
