There's nothing wrong with feather dusters they clean your water. Not sure what eats them I've never thought about that.

I have a tonne also. They dont do any harm. But they dont look great when you have a hundred of them. You can brush them off your rock fairly easily. I tried killing them off by putting them in my sump. They loved it in that dirty space.

Depending on the size, age and other inhabitants in your tank there are a few types of butterfly fish that will eat them.
wouldn't worry about them, does though mean there's excess food around for them to eat.

From recent research I did.... it appears a yellow coris wrasse MIGHT eat them... along with flat worms and pyramid snails.

Copperbands wipe them out pretty quick.
