Meat coral help please(pictures).

Back round: We had a major algae issue in our tank (due to a number of reasons, but mostly a broken skimmer and no time and money to replace it). The skimmer has now been replaced and is working well. The algae issue still remained. So on the advice of local saltwater store, we removed all the rock and sand, scrubbed the rock and replaced all items in the tank (only but about 1/2 th sand back as we were told the sand bed was way to deep, there was about 4" total, but the goby moves it all over).

Issue: the issue is this morning i woke up and the meat coral (or so we think it is) seems to have air bulbs trapped in the coral (the water level in the sump was fine so im not even sure where all the air came from). We are unsure what to do at this point, one of the reason for spending all day scrubbing was to try and make things better in hopes that the coral will flurish and we can move items from this tank to the new tank once it is setup.

Question: Have i doomed my beloved Coral (we have had it for many years and it has survied many a newbie mistake and even a major move and always done well. I would feel horible if the action ment to help it is what kills it). Is there anything i can do other than wait and see?

Thank you for your time
