Growing conifers in pots for any length of time is generally not a good idea for many reasons. By your remarks about watering the plant , its my guess the problem is either under or over watering. If you want to keep the plant assuming it is still alive, plant it in the ground. A photo would have been a bit more helpfull.

Do you have to prune it to keep that shape? Or is it naturally clump forming?

No, I won't laugh, once again I think it is the silvery undersides to the needles that might be giving it that effect. All Abies have a silver reverse to their needles.

You are going to laugh now but that looks like it needs to be stroked! It looks almost velvety
