Colorless RBTA

Ok so a little while back i had a accident where my tank reached over 95 degrees. this was over a month ago. except the 1 coral i lost everything is back almost to full health including my RBTA. this thing is about 6-8 inches around and is eating well and color aside looks awesome. the only thing is that its still pretty white except the tips that are a little pink and the rest is a greenish white color. i have a mated pair of clowns that host it and i feed it every so often just to keep it happy. does anyone know how to get color back? also i know it was the heat that killed the color in it i almost lost the hole thing but i think thanks to feeding its doing well again color aside. all perms are at good levels and its under a metal halide so i know lighting isnt the problem. the first pic is it a week after the boil and the second is now... and sorry for the bury phone pics but at least u can c it.

I had this happen to a gbta when it crawled behind the rock work. I moved the rock back into the light and it has taken 3 months for the color to come back.Feed it and it will color back up.
 
just give it time the color will return in time. it also looks like its bleached a little. as long as its not dieing it will return to its color
 
ok cool thanks for the help! so just food and time will get it back :) ill tell ya tho this guy was amazing when i got him and for the first 2 weeks i had it b4 the heat attack. so im hoping it will come back. its funny how overnight it can bleach yet it takes 3 months to come back.
 
oh and in the pic it looks all white, thats from my phone it does have some pink in the tips just not all red like it used to b.
 
I have 2 in my tank like this.. they stayed small and closed up looking, i started target feeding them recently and they are open all the time now, but haven;'t colored back up at all.
