Leathers are super-finicky...but before you give up:

How long have you had it?
What are your parameters?
What is the flow like in it's current position?

 

[muggle0981]

Moderate flow

was in higher flow

then moved to lower flow

have had for 6-8 years

had to cut off of back of overflow to move to new tank

calcium 500
Alk 10
Nitrate 10 or less
Phosphate 0

Have you tested your salinity? When my leathers shriveled up like that, I noticed my sal was way off by accident. If not, I would try to replicate the last relative par or intensity of it's last place where it was doing well. If it still isn't doing well after that would recommend a quick iodine dip and plenty of patience.

...also; in my humble experience leathers tend to like higher flow...

 

[muggle0981]

Yes, it was in higher flow in last aquarium

i can check salinity but havent changed any process with salinity

thanks

If it's not mushy and disintegrating, I would leave it alone. They can act pretty weird sometimes but they are tough.
