Default colt/kenya tree question

so I took a colt coral out of my dad's tank that wasn't doing so well and I placed it into my tank in an attempt to nurse it back to health.

it seems to be improving, the stalks have definitely gotten longer but it is still drooped over. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to strengthen the stalks to get them upright again, or anything that I should feed it specifically. please share your knowledge! and thank you in advance! =]
