Hi, I recently ordered a feather duster, and after doing a bunch if research I see that they sometimes abandon their tubes and or lose their heads. Since I have very little experience with these little guys, I am looking for some advice. The feather duster I have appears to have broke in half maybe? The tube is about 6 or 7 inches, I am not sure how big these worms get. The CUC isnt going after it at all. I dont know when to "call it" and pull it out, if it is dead. I have attached a picture of the part that looks busted off. (The "head?").
The tank numbers are low, no ammonia, nitrates are lower, there is a bit of phosphate bleed from some.od the newer rock in the tank I added 2 months ago when I moved everything from an old tank. So this tank is kind of dirty but nothing that is angering anything else.
