So I have been posting on here about my torch completely shrinking, but today a huge chunk of it fell off and it now looks like this. Is it dead? Should I take it out of the tank. If interested in parameters, look at my last post. Thanks in advance.

In the last seconds, there looks like a brown string floating off of it. Is it pooping? Torches shrivel up a lot when doing their business.

It is not dead but pieces falling off is not a good thing.

If you want input here, should probably list parameters here.

Almost all of it came off... Should I leave it in or do anything for it?
