Hey Newby! (Although by your join date, I don't think I'd call you a "newby" anymore!) ;-)

First off, that bubble is looking pretty good. I don't see any freshly exposed tissue (would be white), and it's expanding. I'd keep it in pretty low flow (so that the bubbles can fully inflate and not get poked by the skeleton.) Lighting should be low initially, but after a week or two you could move it to medium light.

I worry about the cyano I think I may see in the background. Dying corals fuel cyano, and cyano can smother dying corals (see the bad cycle?) Just be careful to keep it off the coral.

Bubbles are typically one of the least picky I've found when it comes to their food during rescue. I'd still use something pretty nutritious though (mysis, good pellet food, blended raw seafood, etc.)
