    I wouldn't worry about it right now, I would just acclimate it, put it in the tank, then let it go and see how it does.

    ok so slightly bleached was an under statement... but, it still has a nice blue on 80% of the tentacles. i am confident it will do great in my tank. it is already opened nicer than in the store (i love my MH lighting :D) here are the pics!
