 |  Is my Leather dead? w/ pictures
I recently acquired a Toad Stoll Leather from my LFS (about five days ago). Its not looking so hot currently and progressively getting worse looking. Since I added it to my tank I saw it open once. It seems to be melting but im not sure. I don’t want to pull it out prematurely or leave it in to long if its truly dead. I have heard they can take awhile to snap out of it after a move but, it doesn’t seem normal. Hopefully the pictures will help.

Its hard to say from your photos... Pick it up and put in a bowl of water and shake it gently to see if the flesh is coming off of it. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?

if you have any sps in the tank this will cause havoc. play a close eye on this, its hard to tell if its in shock or dying. in the meantime do a lugols solution mix for 10-15 minutes, this will rid it of the bad bacteria. good luck
