Mine did the same thing, and suddenly my crabs and shrimp started to pick at it. I did not know how to bring it back to life and in a matter of a week the whole neon green was pulled off leaving the skeleton. I was really upset about it. It was expensive. I still do not know what happend since all my parameters were excellent and I had lots of light. I fed him whit esnow three times a week.

Watch it carefully. If you have a fish that is picking at it, it will stay deflated.
Also, what is your lighting and watch your ALK/CA levels.
