If you look at them wrong, yes.
The do shed, and need too. Assuming is been in the tank a bit, contrary to popular opinion they do need good flow to slough off that coating.
Does it look "waxy"?

Ok thanks man! Up to this point he's looked great! So I was concerned lol everyone says these things are bullet proof for my first coral.
At dinner last night I glanced over at mine. It was the prettiest, most open I had ever seen it. Pointed it out to my daughter and she agreed it was the nicest she had seen it. Took a few bites of food,looked back up, and every polyp was gone and it had closed up 
So yes, they can be temperamental lol

true. But a new tank has fast changing parameters as it matures. The best first corals are the cheap corals. Its because some systems (for a bizarrely complex list of reasons) hate your tank.
But yea, a famously grumpy coral.
Is that your first Coral?

Congratulations. Pretty fun. And totally nerve racking isnt it?

its really best to let the tank mature. My first new curl up into a ball and died. All "parameters" good.
