leathers close up like this on occasion as they grow and sloth off a wax layer they can stay closed for 2-3 days at a time while this happens. To rule out something else the water parameters will help in that.

When I got home from work today....it appears that the coral is shedding this wax layer you mentioned. it looks like a clear slime or something...you can see it flapping in the current. This is the 3rd day that it has not been open. Maybe tomorrow or the next day will be the big day...
So this is a good thing?
The yellow spots that are on the coral are still there, but they aren't getting worsed...but aren't getting any smaller either.
Thanks again Mike.
