Trachyphyllia skeleton showing but looks great?

I've read through the other posts, but I am wanting to know if I am justcputting off the inevitable. I have give Pinky (pictured with and without flash) an iodine dip and continue with spot feeding reef chilievery few days.

Hard to say from the images.

It’s because it’s a colony of organisms. The exposed skeleton doesn’t really affect the rest of the colony directly, but it does point to a potential water quality issue, and if not, and it was just damaged somehow, it does invite the potential for bacterial infections and algae growth.

Any suggestions for better images? Do I need better angles or a better camera? BTW I am pretty sure my magnetic glass cleaner bounced off of it, but it was at least a week before the receding tissue showed.

It is probably damage related. I have given it one iodine bath about 2 weeks ago.
