Whoa, Dave, hold your horses. Chaca had the Anubias in the tank for less
than one week. There's NO WAY that an Anubias will show any deficiency
symptoms in such a short period of time. You could keep them alive in
distilled water without light for extended periods of time.
The most likely reason that the leaves are disintegrating is damage prior to
sale, damage during transport, excessive bleach treatment or something like
that.
