Looks like it is just shedding. Most leathers will do this. It usually takes my toadstool a couple of days to look normal when it starts doing this. You can blow it off with a powerhead if you want to speed up the process.

Nice coral, mine seems to do that followed by a growth spirt, _E_ 's probably right.
