Hehe yes that is a tounge twister!
Technically yes, an anenome can be nursed back to health after bleaching itself. I had a bubble-tip anenome in my 20 gallon with 130 watts PC lighting. It thrived for a while, then suddenly went under a rock and stayed there for months. I thought it was a goner.... then suddenly one day it re-appeared completely bleached. I fed it and it slowly began to get color back. I set up a 30 gallon with 192 watts and transferred the anenome to that. Its been several months and the anenome looks better than it ever did- with huge bubble tips!
So yes, they can recover. But they often dont.

Nowdays! I just trying to feed them shirmp and zoophanton but it did not take the feeding anymore and the size get smaller and smaller. I believed that it could be recovered itself but only under perfect condition.
One more thing...! It start to get smaller after the 3 dose of Anti-ich (Reef Safe) but here I don't believe that they sence to such SAFE for REEF.
I believe that they start bleaching themselves it means the zooxanthellae inside them is dieing. As LuvMyKribs said, they can, but usually don't recover.
If the zooxanthellae is dieing, it usually means that you don't have enough light, although there could be other reasons.

I got this kind of animone before adjust my light casued the fish shop said " NO NEED ANYMORE EVERYONE CAN KEEP UNDER FLUORICENT LIGHT" God!!!!
Then start bleaching after 1 month and get smaller. It's really too late for me to adjust the light for them.....one more thing no body in my country suggest me to does them some mineral such as Calcium or Iodine....
Yesterday! I brought a new now to test what would be happened including all kind of Mineral and Light here NOW FOR GO....!
what fish store do you go to? my old LFS told me the same thing. they also told me to use pool filter sand as a substrate and that all you need for saltwater is a power filter and salt, and then when I started asking about corals "you need a protien skimmer" I think that was the only good advice they gave me although many people have sucsessfully kept corals with no skimmer. some with no filter at all. needless to say I switched my LFS.
H.Magnifica have very poor suvival rates in the home aquaria with only a handfull of cases keeping them over 5 years. BTA i would say yes its got to recover H.Mag without a change of light and some VERY VERY good water its a goner
