feather duster

So there’s a feather duster on this coral plug and i need to know what too do, do i remove it ? let it grow there ? if i do remove it how do i remove it without hurting the coral ?

I believe this is the new feather duster I saw a month ago…. Looks like it two very small ones. Should move this closer to the larger two I have on the other side of the tank?

Hi all noticed new heads growing on my coral I’m a beginner to the hobby and I’m struggling to identify if I have new heads growing or feather duster worms could someone please help me ID these in the video below and if so what’s the best way to get rid of should I leave them thanks.

So I got this hairy mushroom coral about a week ago and noticed a few feather duster looking things on it. Except I’m worried they might be aipstasia. There’s about 3 of them from what I can see. I dip all my corals but know feather dusters sometimes survive and aiptasia definitely will survive...

Bought a small feather duster worm for 10$ at a LFS he seem fine, I had him for 1 month then I added 3 Nassarius Snails who looked hungry for food. They went directly at my duster and slimed him and ate the crown... 2 Weeks go by, I hoped the worm would regrow the crown but I come home to my...

Really curious what these are. I've searched the internet on and off endlessly over the past few months to no avail. One or two has turned to a couple dozen and I'm wondering whether I need to take action. They haven't died off like pineapple sponges usually do. They look like a cross between a...

I see what looks to be skeletal growth on a few of my torch corals. Wanted to confirm if this is indeed new skeleton growth? Not to much info on the web showing what torch skeleton look like in the process of growing another head. 2nd question I have a Goni with looks to be a feather duster in...

Hello guys, I have this struggling hammer . I’ve done entire due diligence ( gradually increasing magnesium, adjusting flow… ) but it’s still doing poorly and it seems a pest problem. On it there is a feather duster, some sponge like things and I noticed today one very tiny worm ( baby brittle...

Can anyone tell me what is going on with this snail? Are these aptasia or feather dusters or?? All my other snails looks normal besides this guy.

My DT has been a challenge from day 1. My ugly stage lasted nearly a year and I’ve struggled to keep nutrients in the tank. Still can’t keep any SPS alive despite extremely stable parameters. Anyway, where I’m at now is that my rocks are mostly clear of algae and I’m thinking towards placing my...

Help ID this hitchhiker? My turbo snail was giving the Nero 5 a good cleaning and I notice the red glow coming from the shell. Looks like a feather duster but I’m not sure if that’s the actual name or if it’s actually some sort of tube worm.

Hey yall. I woke up this morning to find this thing next to my feather duster growing on the rock. It looks like a somewhat opaque hollow ball with two tubes growing out the front. Is this just my feather worm reproducing? Or is it something I need to be worried about?

Anyone know what this is? Best way I can describe it is its like a feather duster but without a hard shell around the body, and instead of feathers it’s black worms!

Where do I put this guy?! This guy ended up alone in my QT because it was bulldozed by my turbo snails, who vacuum my entire substrate every night. They broke its tube and feathers, and has now started to put himself back together after a couple of weeks in the QT. I didn't realize it would be...

Hey Everyone, I recently picked up a feather duster at my Lfs last week. Last night I noticed the worm was crawling out of the shell and this morning was on the FLOOR in the corner!. I am running a IM 14g Peninsula where the worm is placed in the bottom left corner beneath the overflow. In...

I don’t have a picture at the moment, however my question is whether aiptasia can ever emanate from a white tube structure similar in every way to a vermitid tube, but white. I recently put a new coral in QT and I identified 2 aiptasia’s, however, there was another similar thing emanating from...

Hi all, I am new to Reef2Reef and happy to be here. After trying to find the right place to ask this question, I hope I found it! I have a feather duster explosion. One in particular has grown in size and decided to make its home right in my coral. It is beautiful and I am not mad he’s in my...

After looking at some other post I'm am almost sure it's a feather duster. I would just like some more experienced reefers to help me out if able. It moved like a worm with a feather duster tail. And the tail looked white and red when I looked closely. Sorry for the bad pic.

1.Is the first picture is of aiptasia or feather duster? 2. I am seeing brown/reddish film like layer on few few sand areas and also on the GSP. Is this cyano?

Hi, I bought a new lobophyllia today and after drip acclimating it for 2 hours, popped it into my tank. After about five minutes a flowery thing popped out of the side of it, is this a feather duster? If so are they harmful or not? (Btw I dipped the coral for five minutes in aqua forest protect dip)

I bought a live rock for a tank I was starting and have discovered 4 tiny feather dusters living on it (about 1cm across when feathers are extended on the largest) This is my first tank so aside from the live sand and rock it hasn't had a chance to establish itself, I'd rather not lose them but...

Assuming I've got what looks like a feather duster worm on the underside of my superman ricordea. Is this the case? Safe to leave there or should I remove it?

I’ve been considering a serpent or bristle sea star. Does anyone know if they’ll prey on sexy shrimp or my feather dusters?

Hi all, I’ve noticed from time to time my tube worm/feather duster (calcareous variety, white/red fan) seems to get a “haircut.” It’s happened several times, and the worm seems to grow them back quite quickly. I assume something is doing this; there is a peppermint shrimp that hangs out...

It’s been a while! I recently returned from the store to add two feather dusters to my sole duster, as I was on my way home the feather duster left it’s home and now shares a tube, is this normal behavior?
