Need a lot more info. Is the duster new? What is in the tank with it? And is it in a high flow area?
Also.......QUIT TOUCHING IT. If it was spooked by a fish or something, you touching it will spook it more. If it dies the stem that is showing will die with it, so you will know this.

I'm not getting fussy with you and sorry if you felt I was. This was not my intention.
Since the duster is a week old, it may be just really skiddish. If it is in a high flow area, it will most likely retreat. They like movement, but not to be directly blasted with current. They also like to be up against some rocks, they anchor to the rock. Do you have any fish that may be picking at it?
Good luck with it, keep us posted.

Yes the tube will often times become crimped, but not to be concerned.
If the feather part (the crown) should fall off the worm is stressed, but usually will regrow if left alone.
I would just leave it alone and see what happens. Here are a pic of one of mine. See how I have it tucked into the rockwork. This is where they like to be.
