This guy doesn't seem to know when to die.
I have no idea where the actual live plant is.

It's even got green roots coming from the melted bit.. how is it possible?
 
I had an anubias that had a brown center in the rhizome. I tried cutting off the squishy part but it wasn't until I got rid off all the brown that it quit melting & got healthy.
 
That sucker has been that way for months. I just haven't touched it for fear it will die :\ It's happened to me before.
