So changed my power heads last Monday . Little more flow not much . Leather has been out and find for almost 2 years . Since I changed them power heads it hasn't been out . I'm starting to worry . It's not falling over or anything . Just curious if anyone else has had this happen ?
How long did your leather sulk ?

How long did your leather sulk ?
Does it appear to have a waxy coating on it? It will usually shine under blue light and look slightly darker under white if it is getting ready to shed. A quick blow with a turkey baster can help it along if that is the problem.
That is a long time though. Seeing as how it was happy before you may want to adjust the flow a bit to better match what you had.

Making sure it is getting strong flow is more important because it is a natural process that should be able to happen on its own.
A couple cheap basters come in handy in any case. Whether you need to blow detritus off of a rock or glaze a ham, they are useful.

I had a neon green toadstool leather sulk for a month before put out its beautiful polyps again. I was so depressed, I thought it was dyin.

The waxy film says to me it needs to shed. It needs to be in a high flow and moderate to strong lighting. Put it there and leave it. It appears from what you say that your water parameters are find since the rest of the tank is doing well. Just place it like I suggested and leave it.
