What kind of lights did the shop have VS what you have? Lights can play a huge part in what colors corals show. They might have more blue lights.

I’ve seen this happen more often with rhodactis shrooms. The good news is most shrooms will adjust and gain back coloring. Just make sure you are not blasting it, most shrooms do better with lower lighting. They are especially vulnerable to bright white leds(most corals are)

I noticed once I backed off my white it started to come back green ... I just noticed the tips of the bubbles are flung almost white ... would that be a early sign of bleaching ??

Probably, they can bleach for different reasons but the 2 most frequent I think are too much white light or if they get too cold in transport. If it was green when it first went in I would lean towards lighting.
