Default Feather Duster_headless

Hi,
I've had two fether dusters for about 3 months doing OK. I looked to-day and one of them the Feather section is sitting on the rock beside it's tube? Did it die? or what?

If they are stressed yes they will drop there "crown"
If there stressed because of lack of food or flow or something like that.
Chances are bad.
If there stressed because of a specific event and they were healthy otherwise.
It will regrow its crown.

If it survives for a few weeks, it'll regrow its crown but the new crown will be smaller.

Thanks for all the feedabck I hope it survives. It was doing well but I had a Phospahte problem and have been doing water changes every second day to get phosphate lowered. I am almost there and his crown was off so I hope it was just the water changes.

Once out of a blue moon sometime if I do have problem with my water for some reason even I filtered all the water.. maybe my Puffer Poo or something causing water issue. .. I mostly will stuff a bag of Nitrate Sponge or Phosphate Sponge to bring everything under control
