Bleached

I went away for two days this weekend and when i came back my lights were on at a time when they were so post to be off.  I think that my timer malfunctioned and it keept the lights on for almost three days.  It looks as though my crown coral has gotten bleached, i dont know if it has, i have never seen a bleached coral before.  it is a lighter tone, almost white in some places.  It did still 'come out'/open up this morning.  Is there any thing special that i should do for it now to help in recovery?

Thanks

PS:

on a side note do any of you have your actinic bulbs come on/stay on for a little bit before/after you day light bulbs to simulate a dawn/dusk, if so for how long, half an hour an hour or what?  Should i do this, i have two new timers, so i could.

Thanks again

My timer has a switch at the top to override the timing mechanism and keep the lights constantly on.  Might wanna check that out.
