Help with toadstool leather!!

is this normal?

Difficult to tell from the pic, is the base dissolving or is there algae growing on the base? If it's dissolving the best course of action is to remove and frag it, if it's algae growth be sure your flow is appropriate. How is your polyp extension? Anything in the tank possibly picking at it?

 

[Samantha's]

It's not dissolving. The polyps come out but not the entire way. I've never seen anything by it and the yellowish white color seems to be moving up closer to the top of it. I put more flow on it

It looks like its algae growing on the stalk. If it was rotting it would be limp.

 

[Samantha's]

Thanks! Do I just leave more flow on it or do I have to clean the algae off.

 

[WindeyD]

I'd just increase the flow and leave it be; you could maybe grab a few of your snails and place them on the base, maybe they'd eat some of it:)

Ok thanks a lot![emoji2]

I have some clove polyps growing on the base of mine. Does not seem to effect it.
