Palm leather very ill?

[stan]

I have had a palm leather in my 55 gallon tank approximately 4 weeks
it has failed to come out for 2 or 3 days about every 2 days since i bought it but this time its trunk or stem has shrunken and it is not standing up as it has always done! Should I remove it from my tank so it will not contaminate system, all tests appear to be good, what could-should I do , will appreciate any help

Stan can you tell us about your tank?

What type of flow do you have going around the leather? Any additives that you're using?

[Tim Marvin]

Leathers do very well under medium to high flow.
