I have had a purple BTA for a few months and he was doing fine up until about 2 weeks ago. I went out of town and do to a combination top-off malfunction and a/c setting being too high, the water salinity jumped and the temperature went from the usual 80 to at least 82. The anemone looked white and clear in some areas. In the last 2 weeks I have fed the anemone repeatedly and it has started to color up a bit. Is there anything I can do to help besides feeding it regularly?

82 degrees shouldn't have caused the bleaching. I have had them pull back into rock for some reason and bleached due to a lack of light. I think continuing to feed it is the best thing you can do.

Continue to feed it regularly and keep an eye out for a possible split. Sometimes they act really weird before they splt,. 82° isnt a problem at all.
