How long can it take before the coral is healthily eating?

Really depends on the overall health of the coral and how far starved it really is. Just keep doing what you're doing - remember even if only one or two tentacles of the polyps are sticking out to feed those tentacles.

You can "trick" the coral into feeding during the day. When you see it open with the lights on, feed it. Keep doing this and eventually it will remain open during the day for you.
