MELT???? that sounds like if it is dead i'll know its dead.

yep...you'll know lol. If its there, its still kickin. Whats your nitrates, phosphates, temp, SG, pH etc at? Those are the main things that i've noticed to do this to kenya tree, but on occasion my kenya will close up for no apparent reason for a few days at a time.

A coral dies very quickly and it will really stink, you will definitely see it's dying. Leathers can remain closed for long periods - sometimes many months and still survive.
