Bleached bubble coral

About a month ago, my tank went nuts and the water temp went up to 90+ degress while I was out on vacation. I estimate at least 5 days of hot temperature.

Some corals died and some made it. THe buble coral looked shrunk for a day but started recovering. Right now, it is expanded significantly but not normal yet. It is still colored white and not the pinkist normal color.

Now my question: How will the coral get it's color back? Will it simply regain it after a while.
 
Give it time. I rescued one from my LFS. (they gave it to me) It died back to nothing. I left it in my tank and it grew babies a year later. They are amazing at recovery.
 
Thanks for the reply. Bubble corals are impressive and hardy. I'll just wait to see how the coral improves but it should be fine.
