help to bring the color back to RBTA

Now, how do i keep my RBTA in deep red again? i don't know what happen to my tank but the RBTA lost its redness. I knew that I have my tank parameter out of wack for 1 month or 2 months long. as now (1 month) the water parameters are stable (ph 8.1-8.2, temp 79 to 82, magnesium 1250-1350, calicium 420- 450, phosphate 0.05 - 0.07, everything else is zero in detection). I feed them almost daily with krill and small silver fish bought from asian market. the RBTA still pale. water change is 45gallons/week or 25 gallons 1/2 week.
can someone help me here?

I had a green GBTA bleach out completly on me due to stress from a heat spike. I just kept the tank in good shape and it naturally colored back up over time. I don't know if there is anything you can do to accelerate the color.
 
Oliver, i would try and just feed it krill for awhile, the food from the asian market may contain phosphates or sulfates that could harm the anemone.
 
i had a bleached out GBTA that was darn near clear in color. just kept feeding it silversides every other day and it got back to a beautiful green color.
 
Mine was turned vodka clear after a heat spike it looks like this after a month or so of direct feeding of mysis shrimp and silversides



i hope it comes back for you!!!
please post pics
