I've had it happen with 1 of my 4 featherdusters. He "jumped ship" and moved into a hole in my live rock. Once comfortable he regrew his casing and crown in little time. No problems since.

I missed seeing mine crawl around, but I've heard that they have a face only a mother could love. I thought it was gone, only to find it about a week later with the new case and crown.

wow thats crazy i kind of thought he might though. they look incredibly weird and its tru only a mother could love that face; the face looks like it was going 100 miles an hour and hit a wall straight on, their bodies are even weirder though!!! mines body changes color from red to green to brown its crazy!!! :scared:

They don't regrow a tube, they build them.

I was cleaning the inside of my tank with the magfloat and acidentaly broke my feather dusters tube. I thought he was dead. Then I noticed some tiny ruble gathering in a particular area and thought it was odd. I tried to stir it up, but it was stuck. I could just barely see the worm in the middle of the rubble. A couple days later he made a new tube and he is fine. :jumping:
