The bubble coral will be fine- they are very hardy. Are you sure the shrimp is dead and hasn’t just molted? Mine leave their old exoskeletons all around my tank and it looks almost exactly like the shrimp.

No I’m sure it was dead I seen my cleaner shrimp kill the peppermint shrimp before I could save him and when I was trying to get the peppermint shrimp out of the water it dropped onto my bubble coral and sucked it in, when I seen my tank this morning I seen some of the shrimp so I guess it at some point spot it out or something it was obviously dead and my cleaner shrimp was eating on it so I took it out.
