Can some of the experts tell me how to rehab this bubble coral?
One side of the coral i doing fantastic, this side not so well.
I see the white membrane covers these pieces on the other side, what to do here?

Since I got it from the LFS which has been about a month.
The other part of it is doing very well.

I keep mine low flow, medium light. I also spot feed at night a few times a week when the feeder tentacles are out. I have 2 and they are doing great.

same thing I do.
I feed it shrimp twice a week and one side of it is doing great....
Other side looks like the picture.
As you can see the white membrane doesn't cover the whole lip of the hard portion.

Is there anyone in your tank that is picking on it? I had a pygmy angel that picked at all my LPS. He is no longer with us....

Nobody is picking at it.
And its just on one side of the coral.
I tried scraping at it and some of whatever is on there just flaked right off.
Could i take a soft brush to those areas?

I wouldn't do any scraping for you might damage the tissue. I would blow off with a turkey baster. It took mine a few weeks to recover when I purchased mine.

I dont see any pests, it looks to me like an algae or dieoff of some sort.
The center of that portion still expands during the day, its just that the white membrane just wont cover that point.
