Is my feather duster a goner? Advice please

Father dusters can lose their crown when stressed or whatever.
They should grow back in time when the worm or worms now. Find a suitable place to make a new tube.

A good amount of calcium is a good start.
As the worms use calcium to build that tube.

I would remove the 2 smaller hermit crabs they are scavengers and will take any easy meal they can get their claws on.

the cleaner will also eat what's available.
I'd also worry on the 6line.

Yeah , it was wishful thinking to consider that the worm would regenerate from 2 little pieces. Both are clearly dead now-and white and fuzzy. That will be my lesson to never buy a feather duster without a tube. I imagine it would have had a chance with a protective covering-or if it had been put into isolation.

I'm a little annoyed with the LFS for giving me such poor advice. Live and learn.

Is there no 24hr guarantee? Should be able to get some kind of credit or deal on next purchase.
