Toadstool Leather Troubles

Hello everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with a toadstool leather. It appears as though it's being eaten (See Pictures). I have a long spiney urchin or a yellow tang that I believe may be the culprit. I have the leather under mod lighting (VHO), and fairly strong flow. My water parameters are: Nitrate 0, sp. grav. 1.025, cal. 380, Phos. 0, KH 11, temp. 78. I really do not want to loose this frag because it's so awesome when it's open. I also have a number of other corals (LPS, Soft, Zoanthids, Ricordia) that are not affected at all.

Please give me some ideas, because I'm thinking about buying an in-tank quarantine to keep everything else from getting to it. DSC_2864.jpg

Looks like the normal growth pattern. The coral will start to shed it's skin soon and should be back to full polyp extenison. Just make sure your water parameters are in check and it's not being stung by another coral.
