Coral in distress?

Let him shed. Normal for leathers.

Wouldn't happen to know the exact name would you?

Appears to be a toadstool leather.

I would run some tests like ammonia, nitrites, nitrates and if those come back good then test your alk, and to a lesser degree calcium and mag. If everything tested is within optimal norms then maybe if lights were changed or other things like different flow etc... you might find your issue. Since it doesn't look that bad and if other corals are fine I wouldnt sweat it to much.

Its starting to get its color back, I've never had a leather before, it came with the breakdown I did this weekend.
