feather duster & slime
 

I put in a new feather duster and it's been doing fine when today I looked and it looks like long cob webs flowing in the current from it, but when I pulled some(web stuff) out and it was exsposed out of water it was a thick clear slime anyone know wht this is ? the only thing that has been different is my emerald crab is real friendly & nibbling on the tube of the duster. :confused:

Feather dusters tend to slime up if disturbed or handled. It should go away after a day usually. But if your emerald crapl is constantly picking at it, the slime may not stop. I would feed a little piece of shrimp or scallop to the crab atleast once a week, as it may be starving.
