Feed it whole Mysis shrimp (Piscine brand is tops). Just gentlu place the shrimp between the bubbles, and it should retract around it. You can probably feed it 4-6 shrimp per feeding. I would feed it every second day until it gets better.
LPS corals generally don't have to be target fed like that, but if they are in poor condition feeding will pull them out of the gutter often times. Feeding will also hugely increase their growth rate. My bubble coral gets lucky and gets fed every now and then (like maybe a few times a year), and I've had it for over 2 years.
I think you need to put it in a different place. To me, a very good spot for it would be in the sand (they like being in the sand more than the rockwork ime) in that little nook on the left where the Zoas are. Behind the leather (looks like a leather?). Might have to move the leather too. Make sure none of the flesh is touching the sand, and none of the bubbles are brushing against the rockwork.
