Recovering bleached nem

I have a BTA which became bleached as my tank temp was too high.

It's under good lights (150w MH), but is sitting slightly under a rock so isn't in full light. It would move if it wasn't happy, so I'm not worried about it.

I've been feeding it mysis, flake food, shrimp, mussel etc regularly (anywhere between 1 - 3 times a week depending on the size of the food) and it's sticky and eating well. It's foot is still nicely coloured, however, it doesn't seem to be getting colour back to the rest of it.

How long can I expect it to take to recover? It's been about 2 months so far.
 
Well I purchased a pretty bleached GBTA about a month ago and it's filled in all it's clear spots with green already and starting to see pink tips! Once he found his good spot it seems that he started coloring up pretty fast.
