Feather Duster How long do they live.

[saltaddict]

Well my feather duster has gone to the other side . It was always open seemed healthy then I just noticed I had not seen it for about 2 days and when I checked he was no more. I had mine for almost 2 years. I'm just curious if anyone out there knows the life span of these animal in the wild? If not have you had one longer than two years in your tank? :notsure:

I have had mine for like 3 years now and going good. Are you sure he died or did he just pop off his duster. I thought mine died one time but his duster came off cause my tang pulled on it

Same here minus the tang part.

Nope mine did drop the feathers once and regrew them . I'm sure he is dead or no longer in the tube. Not knowing how long this worms life span is my question was asked to see if mine went sooner than it should Well that means that at two years he went early? Which makes me think what went wrong if he lived two previous years in my tank? BTW everything else is healthy.
