Its known for leathers to shed their mucusy skin every once in a while, and for them to look horrible while doing so. Ive never see a leather look like the picture you posted if it were healthy. Can you please post what your ammonia levels are reading? If theres any, I would have to say that the leather might have died and now is decaying, hence why you would be seeing chunks of gunk rather than what looks like a large mucusy string attached.

goodness gracious....
Smell it. If it smells bad then its bad. If you give it a wiff and have to ask yourself what I am talking about then there is hope. If it smells like you pulled it out of porta-potty then you have your answer.
No offence but I would at very least do a very agressive pruning and isolate it for a few days wih repeated nose testing at the end of the week.
That thing is really looking quite sad. Most folks would toss it for fear of it skunking the tank.
I wish you the best, but I think its dead. Just hasnt fully decomposed yet so anything still left is just a carcass that hasnt fallen apart yet.
Be careful that your not putting your tank at risk keep it. Always give something a fighting chance if your prepared for the fight but if you cant properly duke it out with a potential timebomb toss that sucker and be done.

agree. it looks dead. it looks like a cabbage leather.
+1, and I agree, its toast! As others said, frag some with nose testing if you can, but get the majority of it out of your tank before you ammonia goes off the scale. Good Luck
