SPS Bleaching, will it spread?

I have an SPS that started to bleach from the bottom up, Long story short it was my first SPS and the levels were a bit off when I added it, The levels have been corrected and all are where they should be, The bleaching "seems" to be creeping up the colony, but it is Going SO Slow that it is hard for me to tell if it is really going or I am imagining it worrying. My question is will this eventually spread up and kill it, or does it stop if levels are now ok?? What should I do if it is going to keep going?

Yes, no, well maybe, then again.... Maybe not. That's the thing with these sticks we never really know what they will do. One day blue the next week turns brown 6 months later an amazing reddish blue 2 months after that you wake up and it's whit and dead. Thus the fun and the misery.
