You mean like a large soft tubed duster? I was thinking you meant one with a hard tube. My large, soft tubed duster is in the sand. I didn't even know they stuck to rocks.
The one I have was given to me and I just stuck it in the sand, gotta admit I don't know a whole lot about them!

I have a feather duster and he has been on the prowl the last 2 days. Moved clear across my whole tank and looks like he is growing another "leg". Right in the middle of his body a clear tube(looks just like the normal tube, but clear) has appeared and it appears to be even supporting some weight on it. I am trying to figure out if the thing is splitting into another feather duster, growing one tube to discard another? any ideas?

They don't grow new tubes they build them out of substrate.

I had no idea there were different "tubed dusters" Heck I don't know. He was on the sand when I bought him and I put him on the sand, buried him. But he attached to a rock. He made a long tunnel like thing behind him under the sand and attached to the rock :thinking:

That's the same thing mine do. I think wax might of been referring to a hard tubed coco worm.

i think they produce what they need mine is geting longer
