Does the shell react when touched? It could just be an empty shell the duster is living in. Maybe do a google image search for split crown feather duster and see if it looks similar.

Split crowns tend to live in "things" where other dusters make tubes.

@Lionfish Lair, a tube worm and a duster - what is the difference or is there really one?

I guess the biggest difference is that not all tube worms have feather heads, like a
Chaetopterid or Spionid.

He's cool. I'd be stoked to find him in my tank.
