    Did you recently change any lighting? I notice with a fresh actinic bulb the "greeness" really pops! Especially on the polyp tips.

    when my leathers slough/molt, they shrivel up and do take on a less pink color and more of a gray/green. They look horrible for a bit and then come back bigger and better.

    possibly, hard to say for sure, I used to gently blow the tissue off with a turkey baster when mine did it. Can you take a pic?
