Default feeding a bleached acro?

It's been about a month and the colour is not coming back and if anything in the last week has lightened more. Was getting good polyp extension but now hardly any.

I don't feed my corals but wondering if I should try something.

Picture in this thread.

Default bleached corals

I'm fairly new to sps but I been using zeovit (k balance,zeobak,zeofood,and zeovitaliser) along with Kent Marine zooplankton and phyto. Also I give a shot of reef roids here and there. The colours on the sps in my tank is amazing. I'm gonna keep doing what I am and see what happens. I would post pics but my camera broken.
