Where did you buy your live rock, how many pounds did you buy and add to the aquarium

The feather duster is a worm the tube is to protect is. So if its moving it is very much alive.

Cool, add a little more live rock if you can afford it, it really helps with natural biological filtration, but just add little amounts at a time a gradually build up to 20 30 lbs. , maybe build some caves when you get enough, this way your fish will become less stressed and it will resemble there natural habitat. make sure it is fully cured.

thanks to one and all for posting their reply. feather dusters seem to be ok although some of them haven't opened in a while! merci beaucoup...
