Anybody ever seen Rotala Vietnam lose it's leaves and become a stick and then sprout a few little spikey inches at the end?

Pardon the algae... I left it in there on purpose to feed the snails and shrimps.

As for the RV, I thought it was gone as these sticks of stems blended into the jungle that was surrounding them. Then today I started looking for it since I hadn't seen it for a while. I'm not very fond of the plant's looks anyway... I accepted it as a substitute for a plant I ordered that was out of stock. I guess it was worth a try to test something new out. Anyway, has this shedding of leaves on RV happened to any of you? If so, did it resolve itself or just die?

Thanks!
Dave
