feather duster

by breaknrun911

the head of my feather duster has fallen off. and as i reached in to take the tube out i could feel something inside. but i dont want to hurt whatever is in there. can anyone tell me what could possibly be in there?

From my experience, this means it is dead. You could leave it in your tank to see what happens.

I thought the duster shrinks back into the tube?
Are you sure the head of the duster is not in the tube?
Did you find the head someplace? LOL. If not, I would say he is HIDING in there.

See, that is why I am so not into SW tanks.
You have to worry about heads falling off things.

Well, like jdak said, leave it in and see what happens.
I just did a little research and DO NOT THROW IT AWAY.
It is still alive and will grow a new head.

They really don't have the longest life expectancy. It is a worm in that tube. I'd leave it in the tank tho. If it is alive, hopefully it will regrow although the 2 i have lost in the last 4 years never made a comeback. If it is dead, the bristols will take care of it. I don't think it is big enough to foul a tank.
