[mark]

it was the feather duster worm (not that I would have a clue of what one looks like), not some other type that just moved into a empty home?

[Corbin]

Duster worms are kind of nasty looking if I remember correctly. I remember peering in on one I used to have that lost it's crown.

Mine did the same thing, the feathers disappeared for over a week. I put it in the sump and it came back out. Always keep it submerged when you move it's casing. Air will kill it. They are sensitive to being bothered by critters or too much flow. Sometimes it just hides for a couple days and I can't really see why. After I saw that is was happy in the sump I put it back in the display and it's been fine since.

Feather dusters are non-photosynthetic so their food requirements are very difficult to meet. Feather dusters don't usually survive in typical reefs.
