Please look at the attached photos. I am pretty certain that is a fish stuck in the bubble coral. Is it normal for bubble coral to eat fish?

Yep. It probably won't eat the whole thing, but it looks like the fish was dead and drifted into the coral. They catch it with their sweeper tentacles and consume what they can.

Looks like a Banggai Cardinal, yes?

It's larger than the usual meaty fare a coral will eat, but they are as opportunistic as anything.
