Sorry, but it will be near impossible to tell you the cause, unless it's a lucky guess. We need more information. From your description, it sounds like tissue recession. Please, post a picture, tell us your parameters, and tell us the lighting and flow situation for the coral.

I had that problem, and I did not want to add anymore chemicals or stuff to tweak my parameters, But all parameters in range is good, so I target feed Reef Roids, and a day later my colony opened up again, I know that they do bounce back a lot, it's a good hardy coral.

The skin was completely off and its polyps were no longer present all white steam and just a skeleton head.

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
