There is no short cut to a quick recovery, the dips you use, the change in the corals environment will all take its toll. With some corals the recovery time could be a year or more. Some will die. I have found the best way for a faster recovery is having deep pockets and purchasing a larger cutting of what ever you want. Cuttings smaller than 1" seem to take forever to recover.
