My vote is for the copperband. I don't think the six line will do much damage to the feather dusters. I've never seen the sixlines eat those things, in my tank or my clients. The copperband will wipe em out in no time.
But be aware that copperbands don't necessarily stop there. Some like clams and other corals as well. Mine, after he promptly cleaned out the 1000 feather dusters started nipping on my clams and brain corals. He wiped out two brains and left the other two alone (go figure) He now has left the clams alone as well. He has left the clam picking to a bicolor blenny in my tank. If he doesn't get with the program soon I'm going to seal him in one of his favorite holes with epoxy. At least that is how I deal with him in my dreams.
