The golden brown is the color of zooxanthellae, other colors, blue, green, purple, multicolor ect... are innate pigment of the anemone due to it's genetic.
Short answer: if you have a green Gigantean that bleached, and you do a zoos transplant donor is a one in a billion bright red Gigantea, you will still end up with a very nice green Gigantea, not a red one.

Wouldn't it be nice if we can change the color of our anemone by just bleaching it?
