Duster threw up

Ive just bought another Feather Duster. The 1st was eaten by a lg hermit I used to have. When I added it to the tank it kinda barfed up some spider webs into the tank. Is this normal? Other than that it seems to be fine for now. :confused:

we had one do that, it looks more like a slime. Apparently, it is a mucus like substance which it uses to build or repair its tube. At least so it seems, the duster is fine now, after it built a new tube lower than the one it originally had.

Could be the excretion of waste. Was it long and stringy, kinda grey in color. If you have any shrimp, they will ball it up and eat it.

It was long and stringy. My filter sucked most of it up. I was worried that it was an early sign of stress from the transfer. I just didnt want it to die. I just got it.:cool: Thanx guys
