superman monti recovery??

Just got a frag of an original superman monti. The only problem is that it took 48 hours to get shipped to me. So, when I got it, acclimated it, and put it into my tank, the polyps extended. However, I'm wondering if the blue base will come back. Right now, it's a very pale blue, almost off-white.

Below is a pick:

Let me know what everyone thinks. My guess is that it will come back since the polyps are extended.

Thanks for everyone's help.

That would be my guess as well, especially if the polyps are extended. IME, it can take corals weeks to months to adjust their color in a new tank.

hey thanks everyone for your comments! I just got worried with how the shipping took 48 hours to get to me. I started having thoughts about my coral sitting at the airport in the coldweather!!
