Featherdusters dont multiply by splitting like anemones do. I dont think they are they are probly just 2 together or 1 that looks like 2. And some clowns will even host corals if there is not an anemone for them.

Are the feather dusters coming out of the same hole? Is the feather duster on a rock or in a tube? If it has two dusters coming from one hole, and is coming out of a rock, it is a christmas tree worm.
There is also another species of duster with short, pink feathers. I think the common name is coco duster or something.

Coco Worms there the only other one I know of. There are many diffrent colors of Coco and Featherdusters thats really the only 2 I have heard of. Coco worms look alot diffrent than featherdusters and have alot bigger price tag.

Are you sure it's dead? I read somewhere that thw worms will throw their crowns(feather) every once in a while and they will even leave their tubes to move and make another somewhere else in the tank. Maybe it didn't like where you had it in the tank?
