slightly rough photo. I'm guessing the colors are blue and red? Any tentacles coming out of it? I feed mine a homemade coral food mix

Kind of looks like a Meteor Shower Cyphastrea. Picture is not that good tho.

That's a Tongan Echinophyllia aspera. It's not a good sign when they start peeling back like that, usually it's got to do with low alk or magnesium. Fish paste probably won't do much for it, I'd get it into lower light asap and feed it meatier foods like mysid shrimp or very finely shopped squid at night until it heals up. After it heals you don't need to feed it anything.

Excellent advice and eyes much better than mine.
