mini dusters on the move

Over the last few days, I've noticed 2 or 3 mini dusters drifting in the flow in my 29g biocube. They look like dandylion fluff. Every thing else is doing well. Should I be concerned?

Most likely their tubes were destroyed or they found themselves in an undesirable situation. They decided to leave and evidently got up in a high-flow area. See if you can get them settled onto a rock so they can form tubes again.

I did move a power head last week. That could have been cause.
