Default Dying Brain?

I bought this green open brain coral like a year ago or so. It had a small damaged spot when I got it that I hoped would heal up. Well, it stayed the same for many months, but now in the last month or two has been getting bigger. And I noticed that lately my sexy shrimp has been sitting and picking at the dead/dying edge of it. Is there anything I can do to reverse this or at least stop it? I only have it under pc lighting, but my candycane coral has been doing fine under this, quadrupled in size in the last year. I don't do any supplementation except for a bit of liquid calcium supplement and regular water changes.

Is there nothing I can do to help this coral regrow over the damaged area? My other lps and sps are doing fine in this tank, and growing.

And tell that pesky sexy shrimp to stop picking at it!
