Feather Duster Question

[kimax]

I apologize in advance if this seems like a very strange question.

I have a feather duster that appears to defecate quite a large amount on and off during the day. There ends up being small piles of light brown coiled material around the little guy daily. It's actually kind of ridiculous the amount the thing produces, I end up removing the debris 1 - 2 times daily.

I read a post on nano-reef.com and the response was that they imagined "it's all dependent on the amount of phyto present in your water".

Has anyone else ever encountered this with their feather duster? Good/bad?

(I asked a couple of the guys at the local fish store today and they looked at me like I was nuts.)

Just curious
Thanks,
Kelly
