for most of the day though? it's coming from the center of the opening. it's not like tangled around the feathers.

even if it was dying, i don't think a little feather duster could you pollute your whole tank like that overnight, lol i saw ur pics in that pic thread, the one of u with beers taped to your hands haha

It could be stressed because of the water condition .... some animals will release slime when this happens. It doesn't look like it's dieing though. :D

it may have nothing to do with the feather duster at all. theres these things in my tank that came attatched to my live rock, i forget what they are called but they are these little spout looking things made of rock and they shoot out this stuff that looks like a spiders web. it might be attatched to the tube which the feather duster is in or a piece of live rock that the duster is attatched to. theres no harm in having them....simple filter feeders. thats just my input.....somebody else might have more info.

Mine does this sporadically as well and it is not dieing. In fact I have had it for over a year now. Mostly happens after I do a water change and the new water is siphoned too closely to the duster.
