Captive feather dusters frequently lose their feathered crowns because of stress and malnourishment. Unless you have a mature reef and you feed your fish often, you will need to feed the feather dusters phytoplankton and possibly rotifers - basically food for filter feeders.
The feathers will eventually grow back, but usually not the same size and color as its original.
