I have a single frag that fell off from my other colony and it gotten bleached. Today, I glue the single bleached polyp to a new rock, and wish that the coloration will come back again.

Will it come back again?

You mean is it dead.Did it fall onto another coral and was stung.If so that part dies and it takes a bit of time to grow back.There has to be some healthy tissue left.What type of coral was it.

Well It didn't fell into another coral, but it fell under a gap, such like a small tiny cave. Anyways, the Button Polyps Coral still retract and open like it's alive. What do you think?

If the polyp still has all of its tissue and the only consequence to what happened is that it lost its color because it was starved of lighting, then it should come back and get all its color back now that it's in the light.
