It's been about a month and the colour is not coming back and if anything in the last week has lightened more. Was getting good polyp extension but now hardly any.

I don't feed my corals but wondering if I should try something.

I had the same thing I bought these 2 colonies from a LFS and they were white I mean white and i stuck them in the tank and left them and it took around 2 months until the color came back here is one of them it was pure white and looked dead , and now this is what it looks like yes there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm fairly new to sps but I been using zeovit (k balance,zeobak,zeofood,and zeovitaliser) along with Kent Marine zooplankton and phyto. Also I give a shot of reef roids here and there. The colours on the sps in my tank is amazing. I'm gonna keep doing what I am and see what happens. I would post pics but my camera broken.
