That might be a bit of a leap. What I understand from the article is that the zooxanthellae continued to live after a heat stress or expulsion incident. Once expelled however, it's of little consequence to the anemone or coral if the zooxanthellae continues to photosynthesize. The only saving grace would be a reabsorption, but that's a different question.

But don't get me wrong. I am encouraged by hearing the progress with the feedings. Have you tried chopped small pieces of prawn at all? Might be worth a quick check if it will take some. Good luck with the continued recovery.
