Bleaching and lighting questions

I've had a RBTA for about three years now in my 50 gallon reef (which I've broken down recently). When I bought the RBTA, it was bleached white with bright pink tips. I took it home and placed it in the 50 under 2 175 14k hamiltons. The RBTA eventually colored in and continued to grow/split over the years.

Well, I had to braek down that reef, so I placed the RBTA in my 125 FOWLR under 2 sets of TEK T5 retro kits. So the RBTA has bleached out again. It seems to be moving around and healthy a well as eating, but I'm concerned that it may not like the T5's.

Does any one have any suggestions? Should I give it some more time (it's been about 2 months)? Will the color return? Does the RBTA look healthy? Is there too much or too little light?

Here are some pics:
