Red planet quandry.

So i got a red planet a few months ago, and being new to SPS i had it placed high in my tank, and imagine this, it lost color to a red/tan color. Well, I have it on my acro frag rack, and it is low in my 55G Dt 4x54W t5 sundial with ATI blue+, KZ Fiji Purple, ATI Auqablue special, and a stock 10k (instead of the 6500k GE i was gonna put in but didnt want to lose that much blue spectrem) So there isnt a TON of PAR in there.

It has started to sorta bleach some more again, what the heck am I to do, put an acro in shade? This is the only coral in my tank to be lightening up like this. My alk 3.0 Meq/L Ca 420 PH 8.1-8.3 Mg 1350 SG 1.026 NO3/PO4 not registering on my tests but obviously present since i got a bit of GHA. Now i feed only a couple times a month, but like i said, the other dozen acros have no paling of color to indicate low nutrients as a cause. Using SeaChem tests
 
was this frag healed? some times $#!+ happens. I will never buya frag that have been freshly cut
 
all my new growth on my RP is white. it also grows fast, so at least 1/2 is white (with red polyps). as it grows out, the "older" portion turns green...

@sazama. It was healed over pretty well with a deep red and green coloring and a bit of encrusting on the plug. Now its completely encrusted but still that dull tan/red color really light

@MAyjong. The polyps are even washed out in color. The whole piece is uniform in coloration as well
