    I noticed today while handling Elysia that she had what appeared to be a brown scale. Upon closer examination, it appears she has a loose scale with some of the substrate underneath it. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, but should I try soaking her to get it out from under there or not even bother, since she is just gonna get more under the scale afterwards.

    I wouldnt fret it too much. If it doesnt go away with her next shed, then it might be something to worry about.

    Yeah I dont think its a problem and will go away with her next shed also. I was able to just blow a little of the substrate out from under the scale so, its not like its packed in there. She just loves to burrow!

    Yeah I wouldn't worry. Remember awhile ago my Indigo had a damaged/half missing scale? Well, I decided to see what happened after his next shed and it healed all up on it's own.
