It's like it's scales have just come off, there's a small bit that's still hanging on. He was out yesterday and I didn't see this then. What's going on?

I would guess that either he is being attacked and you're just not witnessing the attacks, or he had some irritation on his scales and was scratching himself vigorously or he just got stuck somewhere and had to aggressively escape.
If he doesn't come out often I would guess that he's being attacked by someone. Wrasses can be skittish but once they acclimate to the tank they tend to be pretty active and social. How long have you had the Scotts?
