can i expect a recovery?

my ricordia rock had become heavily infested with hair algae. over 6 months, the ricordia shrank and would hardly open. they have not eaten in about a year now. i put the rock into my chocolate chip starfish tank (my mushrooms dont get eaten), and the next day i saw my starfish had eaten half my ricordia... so i took a razor and cut them all off the rock. i put the polyps into a container with mesh window screen on the bottom for them to attach to. within 2 weeks, the polyps attached and i cut the screen and super glued them to rock rubble.

well, thats the history of my ricordia. right now they are less than dime sized and under 175W 10k halide. they have been in this situation now for almost 2 weeks and they seem fine. they dont respond to food at all. i am just wondering how long it will take for them to look good again. they are green ricordia with neon green mouth.
