Bleached anemone recovery

We have had nems in our tanks over the years. Sometimes when we have a nem split, for whatever reason, one will hide where there is no light and is hard to find. We had one like this and when we finally found it, it was a very similar color to your initial picture but it slowly regained color as we brought it out from underneather the rock where it was getting zero light. Over time it gained its color back and is doing great. Excited to see update pictures of yours.
