feather duster question

lwaxman · 02/28/2008, 07:13 PM

i think the head of my feather duster popped off. i am not sure but the head has not come out for a couple of days and there looks to be a little head on the sea floor. what do you all think.

thanks yos

possible. they do that. If it is severely stressed, it will discard its crown, growing it back later.

just give it time. chances are it will grow back over time if conditions in tank are favorable.

i just got a spotted goby and the goby was moving it around a lot, could that have caused it to happen. it will grow back though
