My feather duster grew another head at end of tube where it attached to rock. Original is the big circle and little one ie small circle. COOL

Very cool stuff! glad you were able to witness it first hand. I've had small hitchhiker ones reproduce in my tank but never these big ones.

Info:
Feather duster worms reproduce both sexually and asexually. Soft tube varieties reproduce sexually, but many form dense colonies of clones by a budding process called scissipary. In this process the posterior end of the worm breaks off and develops a new crown while the “parent” grows a new posterior.
 
I love my two little aquariums, wishing for a big one
