Every few weeks I'll spot this flat gorgonian shedding some skin. It's like a snake, or a bad case of sunburn peel. This is completely normal and coral appears to always look better thereafter. I've seen hermits climb these branches to pick away at the skin, or any other nuisance algae that tries to take hold.
