    Is it getting too much/too little light and/or water flow? Are your Lamarck angels picking at it?

    Is it new to your tank or has it been in there for a while? Sometimes you have to move them till you find a place where they will be happy. I would try a low to moderate flow with low lighting. This is what my brains have decided they like the best. gl

    I'm losing my brain also. It seems to come back at night, but shrivles up with the lights on. Any help will be appreciated.
