If the tanks all share a community sump then that doesn't really count as being in a new tank. However, simply handling the Gorgonian could cause it to wax up. Sometimes Gorgonians will wax up, and shed for "no apparent reason". It's just cleaning itself. Algae growth on the Gorgonian will cause it to shed too.

You say your tanks have always had high nitrate, but this tank is new? You really shouldn't have high nitrate in a new tank. Eeep! Have you double checked your test kit?
I think the Gorgonian will be fine. Don't try to remove the sloughing except maybe with a turkey baster if you really can't help yourself.  It does look like it needs more flow though. That will also help with the sloughing, but by the amount that is still half tangled up on the Gorgonian suggests the Gorgonian doesn't have enough flow at the best of times. You can expect it to look this way for 2 days to 2 weeks before it will be done shedding, and the polyps will come out with a whole new zest. They usually look really good after shedding.

the tank origionally always had high nitrate from the day we bought it we had gotten it down considerately. we have a 180 and decided to downgrade to a 110 because it is a nicer tank and am now scrapping the 180 we only moved everything 3 feet and now we are left with one tank lol sorry for the confusion

Nitrate can be stubborn to lower when you have old rock in the tank. It takes time, a lot of it - as you've probably noticed.
