I have three feather dusters. But one of them keeps throwing his crown. He did it about week and half ago. Then yesterday he showed his new crown. This morning it's on the bottum of the tank. I have been keeping an eye on him and nothing seems to be bothering him. He got food last night or it seemed like he did cause cyclops was on his crown. What could be causing it?

Dusters are hard to keep fed. They usually starve over a period of time and that's the start of it. If there's not enough food they will shed their crown, grow another, and the smaller one will try to feed. If there still isn't enough food, they will shed again, and again until they eventually die. I would say try more phytoplankton, but if the other ones are ok, then I don't know what else could be the cause of it. Maybe some of the other experts could shed more light. But it sounds to me like he's not getting enough food.
