Coral Band-aid Idea?

I have a green leather coral that has grown substantially (surprise) since I got it almost two years ago. Recently, I noticed my pepperment shrimp pestering it at night after its green polyps go back into the leather. To defend itself, it closes up like a baseball mitt - which is kind of cool to watch. This morning I noticed two small white spots on the inside. I assume that is where the pepps have been knawing on it. Before I attempt to banish them (if their behavior continues), I was wondering if I could put some super glue on the spots as a sort of band-aid. We all use it for fragging, so I was wondering if it would work for this purpose. I will start target feeding the shrimp more to see if that helps...
 
You could try the super glue method. but the shrimps are likely eating dead or dying tissues. for some other reason the leather might have a spot thats giving it trouble, and the shrimp are just cleaning and eating the flesh around that spot.
