Any ideas and are these bad?

Your brain my not be doing well because it is too high up in the tank.
You should also plane some small pieces of fresh shrimp on it and cover it for a while with those plastic strawberry 'baskets' so no one else steals its food.

The brain is on the sand bed. I think the move was just to stressfull. have been hand feeding smal pieces of shrimp and it seems to be doing better today.

Keep feeding it and I'm sure it will be fine. I keep coming back to the fact that corals (like all animals) need feeding... my Paly frag is showing me the way

Oh, and welcome to Canreef!
