My Feather Duster did the same thing. Its crown came off and than a day or 2 later the worm was no longer in the tube and I found it lieing on the sand dead so I wasted 10 bucks on nothing but I hope yours dont do the same thing as mine. Keep me posted on what happens. Good luck

I had one that did the same thing. I did some research on why they lose their crowns and found out that it means they are starving. Feather dusters need phytoplankton which can be supplemented into your tank. I bought a bottle of liquid phytoplankton and add a tablespoon twice a week or so. My feather duster has regrown its crown AND has built a new tube. He is doing awesome now that he has something to eat!
Good luck with yours!

Thanks for the tip...I did some research and it appears that this is quite common and they typically grow back and form new tubes...I will get some food today for them.
