New to LPS but trying to save this brain (pics)

Hey guys I was at my LFS today and had my eye on this little brain coral that wasn't looking to great. I talked to the owner who said is fell between the rocks and was cover in algae. I got the brain for 10$ and couldn't pass up on it. Here is what it looks like.


I was wondering if you guys could give me some tips on what I need to do to get it looking good again. He still has a lot of tissue left so that's one good sign. I have him at the bottom under the rock where the flow isn't that strong, not weak but not strong. Should I try to feed it? What should I do? My water is in great and stable condition ca is 460, alk 9, PH 8.3. sg 1.025, only thing I am having problems with is nitrates 15 but dropping slowly. My tank has been setup where I have had it for almost a year now. Lighting is 150w MH 2 65w antinics, what do you guys think?
