Yes they will with proper lighting, parameters and husbandry
Be patient, sometimes it takes a while, but it will happen!

7 months sounds like a bit long. What's your setup like and what are your parameters. As much info as possible please.

As Kathy stated it can take a long time for things to color up. Depending on the coral, some take longer than others, some will color up rather quickly, provided with the proper requirements being fullfilled, you should have no problem getting corals to color up.

Corals can survive without certain things but will not thrive, be vibrant and grow well. You just have to figure out with the corals you are keeping what the optimum conditions would be for them and try and achieve it.

If things are in great shape tere is no reason why they should color up. Lighting is key. You can actually make things better than they would look in the ocean with the right amount of ighting. Also low nitrates (allmost untracable), low phosphates, good calcium and alkalinity is also a big help.
