I went to a local stores moving sale and saw this coral not having a good time so I asked and was given this beautiful coral for free so I could nurse it back to health. Never had one so I would appreciate any advice to helping this coral come back to normal

So as you guys can see half of it is gone due to the tanks flow being too strong. What can or should I do to help it get better?

You might want to look into Iodine dips for starters, although this might not be needed. After that it's just a matter of proving it with the right lighting and flow and hopefully it will recover over time. Feeding it small bits of shrimp, NLS pellets etc every now & then would also help. GL.
