No idea, I've hit fire coral before and never got that kind of reaction.
You might want to stick this in the dive medicine forum.

I've hit fire coral and had a little peeling a few days later but nothing like that. Take good care of it so you don't get infected.

Desquamation such as is shown can result from envenomations by corals & sponges, but much more information would be needed regarding the precipitating incident, course of the reaction, alternative explanations, etc. before it would be reasonable to speculate about a specific cause.

All the more reason to maintain good buoyancy control, wear protective clothing wetsuit/skin, and not touch anything.
