Is my devils hand soft coral sick?
This guy hasn't been looking up to much over the last week or two. Does he have a parasite or something? He was a nice yellow/green and now he seems to have some brown/red crap on his skin. Attached is a pic. Please let me know what he might have caught and what I should do about it.

i noticed it's close to the sand bed so it might not have enough flow to strip off the material.Try blowing it off manually with a turkey baster to help it out

It's shedding just leave it and it will puff up and drop the old skin when it's ready, perfectly normal

Thanks guys. I've only had him since September so I haven't seen his whole cycle. I'll move him to a better flow area. It is cool how they are big and polypy one day and then the next they look like someone let all the air out of them.
