How long have you had it ? What type of lighting ? Do you target feed it ?

I know some people my LFS included that target feed it prine shrimp at night. At night when it sweepers are out try and get it some brine shrimp or some of Keith's mized food.

Bubble corals seem to like to be on the sand bed and dont tolerate alot of flow to much.

You can feed it meaty items in the evening as pyro said, mysis, table shrimp, clam, etc...

Have to agree with pyro and crazy regarding the feeding...I usually target feed my lps at night with some brine,artic pods,cyclopeeze,etc. I have my bubble on a live rock close to the substrate where there's not alot of flow (a nice swaying motion). Hope this helps.
