Moving a feather duster worm?

[captain spork]

I got a hitchhiker feather duster worm on one of my frags, who has grown a lot and seems to be thriving. However I would like to get rid of the frag but also save the worm on it as I took the coral off of it already, and the frag has nuisance bubble algae on it. Is there any way to remove the worm without harming it?

gently pry the tubing part off, if you tear the tubing part thats fine as the will re-build the tube eventually. Just be nice and slow thats always worked in my experience

It went good! I placed it on my main rock scape and I see it’s little head pop out sometimes
