Had her for 3 years, feed weekly nothing had changed in months no new addition to the tank be it coral or invert or fish. Last week it had 1 spot that looked like scar tissue and today I noticed several more. I just hit it with the turkey baster and the spots move but don’t blow off. The spots wiggle like skin that is dying and about to fall off. Need ideas and maybe treatment options. I don’t want to loose her

Is that skeleton showing? Or just discoloration in those areas? It's beautiful by the way!
 
I have some fish that might bother some corals ( looking at you Toby puffer). If I see damage, I isolate coral in a guppy breeder and see if it gets better.
He did whack the scoly, which I relocated to another tank.
 
Without being and expert, I would think it is 'mesenterial filaments'.
Mine shows the same respons sometimes as my duncan touches it.
Hard to see from the picture, but this picture from another R2R thread shows them pretty clearly:

Just took a quick picture of my scoly:

It is clearly a bit annoyed by the duncan, getting to close.
