Is that some type of leather ? Looks kinda like one to me that needs better current to blow of the shed....Does not look like its dieing but does need to remove that brown stuff. You can lightly scrub it IMO....if thats what it is......

dont be so fast to chuck this. It might be molting.

No it is not dying. Heres a pic of mine to the right of the finger leather. It looks like yours at times. It sheds. Mine is green when its not extended, as soon as it expends its polops it gets brown, Pretty cool.

I agree that make sure it's getting adequate flow to help it shed. I moved my finger leather because it was laying over and I noticed that it had a lot of brown stuff on it. I moved it to better flow and the brown stuff slwly went away and now it's standing straight up.

my entire tank is made up of leathers. Some times they seem to all get on the same cycle for molting.

if your going to chuck it Mail it to me.
