Is there any chance for my Stylophora milka to be rescued?

I have inherited a tank and I have been doing my best to revive and maintain it. There is a Stylophora milka (greren) in the tank that I tried placing it more directly under the light and after half a day a lot of polyps disappeared. I moved it back to its original position where it had some green polyps open but eventually all the polyps disappeared.

My water parameters seems to be normal according to https://www.liveaquaria.com/article/89/?aid=89 so my guess is either It got super stressed by the light or it is by the water flow strength. 

 

I wonder if there is any possibility to rescue this or maybe this is a normal reaction?

Chance are pretttttty rare that it will recover it looks like the skeleton is beginning to become covered in algae. 

 

 You can always leave it and see what happens.

Is there anything that you can think of that can kill a coral of that size so quickly? It has open polyps and they disappeared in more or less 3 days. I cannot pinpoint naything that can cause this. Now I moved it to top of a stone more in the way of water flow and right under the light to see what would happne.
