Healing A Bleached Acro

I have an acro (unidentifed) that I purchased and I placed it on my sand bed with several others I bought. I set it their for light acclimation to my ATI fixture. Well within a couple days it started turning white on the inside and within the branches. The tips were still a nice bright blue and it had polyp extension.
So I moved to a darker area of the tank and that was a month ago. Now it has grown and the tips are still blue, it does have polyp extensionm and now the bleached areas that were a white color are now turning brown.
So what my next move to heal it fully and get it back into the light? Should I wait and let it turn more brown before placing it closer to stronger light??
 
Once the zoox have re-populated i would slowly inch it into brighter areas and observe for weeks at a time
 
The brown color is the zoox. It really is your call though. Best thing to do is make one adjustment and observe for 7-14 days.
