Default hah, now i feel like a dick..

So i brought a feather duster over a month ago, it shed its feathers in the first day or two, for whatever reason... left the tube just chillin since then asuming it was/would be dead from everything i read about them losing there feathers.
so today, i just got so curious to know since its never opened up, or anything has happened with it. i pulled it out, looked at the tube, i could see through it with a strong light behind it, and i couldnt see or feel anything inside, next thing i know a worm crawls out the end... still has no feathers, but its been alive for well over a month just chillin, the Bald feather duster worm.. i wonder how its been feeding, the end of the tube has always been closed.
now hes sitting in a container with his tube, maybe he will crawl back in, lol sorry worm.

it was the feather duster worm (not that I would have a clue of what one looks like), not some other type that just moved into a empty home?

Duster worms are kind of nasty looking if I remember correctly. I remember peering in on one I used to have that lost it's crown.
