alot will depend on your water quality and current lighting. Try to spot feed it meaty foods such as cyclopeeze and mysis and if it eats that is good. it will help gain it's colors back. If it came from PC's at the LFS then you put it under halides (hypatheticaly) it may bleach due to the intnesity so you may have to acclimate it accordingly.

I have experience only with scolymia, not trachyphillia: few months. Bought it bleached - could be shipping problem, not caused by light.
