This is something I found on my christmas tree rock it moves around and it looks like it has antennas like a snail, its body is like a fury carpet and I never see it moving but I find it in differents spots all the time on my christmas rock... is it eating the feather dusters? Here is a Pic.... can someone tell me what it is?

It looks like a nudibranch. I would quarantine it until you can ID it, because it may be munching on your coco worms, corals, or sponges.

That looks like a lettuce nudibranch to me which are herbivourous and should not have been eating your colt coral but simply "cleaning" it if anything. They primarily feed on bryopsis algae

I don't believe it's a lettuce... it would be much more green [it looks white/clear]. And usually not centered on coral.

Im afraid that is not a lettuce nudibranch, I do not to the species name of that kind but it has been proven in several threads that, that pinkish white nudi does eat corals.
Lettuce Nudi looks like this.
