Will Zooxanthellae Return?

OK...I have a 180 gallon SPS reef. I had a litter of Labrador Retriever puppies and let them out of the cage in the garage, where my sump is, to feed. The little angels pulled a cord and slid a power strip into my sump. I ended up having a major bleaching event. This happened about 6 weeks ago, most all of my SPS have become VERY light and some almost white. While there is still polyp extension on most corals, the color is pretty much all gone. I am feeding the fish a bit more and dosing Warners amino acids occasionally....WILL the color come back? Does anyone know of any articles about this? Could this indicate that lightening causes bleaching events in the oceans?

Help Please???
