Any thoughts on what is going on with my finger leather?

This guy has always had small patches on his skin (part of the reason why the LFS gave it to me for $20) but never this large.

Tank Params:
Salinity ~1.025-1.026
Alk 10dkh
Calcium 450ppm
Mag 1450

My initial theories

1. Bacterial Infection.

2. Coral Stings? He lives near a Torch Coral and some Acans on the sand bed, but most corals at 3 inches from him.

3. Salt exposure? Im usually careful when wiping the salt creep off the top and equipment but he still could have been touched by some.

Any other thoughts are appreciated.
