Toadstoool dying?? splitting?

[Lugmos12]

So this coral has been progressively losing bits of tissue. Someone told me it’s getting ready to split. I read elsewhere that it’s a sign of disease. No other coral in the tank has this issue currently. 

 

Any thoughts?

It can be dissease which isn't easy to determine on leathers. 

 

Mine did the same as yours as it split. At first i thought it was ill but couldn't find much info besides black band diisease.

 

Turned out mine decided to split but not all the way, it just stopped once the cap had a gap

thanks for the reply. that’s what i’ve been told/read online. It’s weird bc I have another leather of the same species that’s about 5x bigger and it has never behaved this way. 

 

today it looks like this from the top:

Can you see underneath it? I have a toadstool that is looking like that on the the edge and underneath it is dropping a baby.

Similar happened to mine. My mother piece looks like a deformed clover, but I have two happy, circular-shaped babies from it. 

 

@debbeach13 has a helpful point. Sometimes you can see better from the underside that there is a piece starting to disconnect, not just disintegrate. I wish I had a picture of how mine looked as an example...

Mine does this all the time and I've had it for a few years. I have like 20 babies now.

Good point. I noticed that it doesn’t disintegrate if i blow water on it with a turkeybaster

Once a month one will fall off. Started sometime last year and never stopped. Here is a pic from this morning. It will fluff all up later today but it's awfully deformed looking but little ones will eventually fall off. The first pick is on I remounted a month or two ago.
