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.

It will be better off in your tank for the time being. May need a few days for them to adjust.

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.
