I have Pearlscale Butterfly fish that cleaned out my tank of aiptasia, and am sure they would eat feather dusters too.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

I have a reef tank with lots of coral...so no butterflies.

I had a longnose butterfly that destroyed my worm population in about a day but never touched any of my corals. Fogiceps are reef safe for the most part.

Copper band butterfly. Mine didn't bother the corals at all but definitely took care of the feather dusters. Tough to keep alive though unless you feed frozen food daily.

IF feather dusters were a problem then I might as well nuke my whole tank. I'm completely overrun with them. One of the LRs is white in appearance it's so full of them.

If anyone needs some food for a finicky CBB just let me know.
