Bowerbanki skin receeding

Hey all,
My Bowerbanki colony is suffering from some skin recession on one side of the colony. I'm not sure why its happening and was hoping someone could shine some light on it. I have a 75g mixed reef DT. I have no fish that pick on corals, and do not have any crabs that would be picking at it. My parameters are all in check, 2ppm nitrates, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, 420 Ca, 1360 mg, 8.2 DKH, 1.026 SG. I have LED lights that I built and they arent cranked up to high, and for flow I have 2 mp40wQD's, they only peak at 40% power for 4 hours of the day, most of the day they are run between 30-35% via reeflink. Only thing I could think of was to much flow but i'm having a hard time thinking thats the problem when the pumps never peak past 40%. And when looking at the tank the flow doesn't seem overly aggressive by any means. I feed the acans 1-2x a week. Let me know your ideas please.
 
I have had that happen with my Bowerbankis and some acans. I just changed the water flow to a little more flow, fed them a little more and they recovered. Do you have a picture for a visual id?
