    hmm, did it ever open? how long did you have it before it closed up? was it moved at all right before it closed up or did you change your lights or powerheads? anything?...ther are many things that could cause this :) also where is it placed?

    my yellow leather does that sometimes, but not for months. then again im having my own problems right now, so i dont know how valid my advise is...lol

    also do you have any creature that might be hurting it, such as larger hermit crabs? my blue knuckle hermit was picking at mine.
