Red macro dying?

[reefer1970]

I had a ton a red macro in my fuge. Moved my tank and had it in a bucket with a light over it for about a month, couple of water changes. It's now back in my fuge and has white tips and seems to break up when stirred up. It still feels firm. Could it be dying and will it leach anything into the water contaminating the tank?

It sounds like you basically starved them for a month. They should bounce back, now that they have access to tank nutrients.
