Bart, unless there is a problem in the tank and the toadstool is dieing for some other reason, it should be able to survive and recover. As a matter of fact, both the base and the 'mushroom' part can live and you'd have two in your tank. The head actually looks pretty good. The base doesn't look all that great. Why did it separate? What happened?

Get it on a piece of rock if you havnt already... Leathers tend to drop clones when theres not enough room around it or its being bothered by something.. They will reattach themselves to pieces of rock but dont seem to survive on the sandbed alone

I trim my leathers on a regular basis and they keep coming back.

As was stated, if tank is healthy, your leather will recover. In fact, now you will have 2 of them. I have even seen leathers in bad shape, that once the tank parms got back to shape, recovered from near "death". Leathers are very hardy. Just make sure you mount the leather to live rock.

I even had one leather that became top heavy and ripped down to a lower level of rock. Now, the thing is even bigger.

Good luck.

Smell the head and base...if it is dying, you will know based on smell.

I dont know much, but I dont understand why it would have broken if it was healthy.
