I've been reading throught the old topics trying to figure out if my Green leather is dead or going through one of its "i'm not coming out" periods.
My tank will be a year old this November (92g corner) and I got this leather from "redfish/bluefish" back in December and it has thrived and grown in my tank up until the beginning of the summer season my first.
The polyps initally were coming ouy infrequesntly and then it seems like it was shrinking in size, I thought it was infected so i gave it a Lugol's dip and it seem like it reacted better afterwards for a short period (3 weeks).
Now as of the last 2 weeks there has been no polyp exrtension, it has shrunken considerably and it has this gray look to it.
I've read that some have had it show no polyp extension for weeks and then its back, others say that id is si firm give it time.
I havent touched it for firmness which i will do today when i get home. But if i find that it is mushy what should i do with it? I do not have a QT so do i place it in a bucket or is it too late for that?
