Laura,

Have seen that "greenish glow" on leathers when all closed up before at LFS and really don't know what that means

But leathers can stay contracted for long periods time after serious stress of moving, new lighting, new water conditions, different flow rate then used to.

Leave it be in one place for a while and quit moving it around.

After while it should get used to where it is and open up just fine.


Good Luck!
