So I got a wilsoni about a month ago, it has looked nothing less than great, however these past 2 days I've noticed some of the skeleton poking through, and a few small spots where some flesh has come off. Any ideas or suggestions?

Double check water chemistry.

Make sure it's not getting too much light or flow.

If all is well, spot feed until it plumps up again.

Water chemisty is great. I'll deffinately try to place it in a less direct light/ water flow zone

I should also add that it's showing a bit more skeleton today.

Can you give us your test results for:
Temp
Salinity
PH
Ca
KH
Ammonia
Nitrite
Nitrate

Phosphate and Magnesium could help, but we'll start with t he basics.

Also, are you feeding the coral at all? Some LPS can benefit greatly from even occasional feedings.

Also watch out for nearby corals, etc that may be stinging at night. Fish and other critters may be harassing it as well.

Feed it and shelter it from excess light and flow. I have one that has been with me for 3 years and at one point was nothing but skeleton and very little flesh. With good water chem and care its starting to recover very well.
