The color will come back in time with proper care, sometimes after a bleaching episode the colors will morph differently then when you first had it, but it will definitely color up.

Try putting it under the ledge of a rock or another coral and once you start to see color again slowly move it more into the light. As stated above It may not come back exactly how it was but I have had acans comeback from much worse even ones that had the skeleton showing with little to no flesh left so just give this one time

+1.

I had an acan that had minimal flesh left due to being picked on by a fish. The acan ended up buried under my anemone and 2 months later the anemone pushed the frag to the front of my tank and it had regained much of its flesh.

Yes. It can fully recover. Shade it and feed but check your water chemistry. Nitrate nitrite phosphate and alk. It is urgent to do so. Your lfs can check for you.

Ok pal then is time to be responsible with your animals and pick some water test online. For me api is a good reliable choice.
