Has magnet gone bad??

Has this magnet gone bad???

My ICP test showed slightly elevated toxic metals, so I'm checking all clamps and pumps for rust. My GHL probe holder looks a bit suspect. Notice the discoloration on one of the magnets? I have another single probe GHL holder that has zero discoloration, so I'm thinking I should replace this probe holder.

Any feedback appreciated. @GoVols?

Yes, it seems that there was infiltration of the plastic protection and corrosion of the metal; iron, chromium, nickel, boron and neodymium may be present in the magnetic alloy and released into the aquarium by corrosion.

@Jose Mayo, thank you. I'll remove it now.

Agreed, but it should be handled with pm's if GHL wants to go that route.
