Is there a fish that eats feather dusters?

just my experience with my one and only arrow crab...

I have heard of this problem... but not with healthy fish. Also have heard many success stories with these critters.

Yet again... another example that basically no single fish or invert in our hobby sticks to the 'description' we give it.

Dropped in an Arrow Crab from JL Aquatics.

Not sure if he is eating them or not. Just see him sitting striking a pose for the past few days.

On another note, left a piece of live rock outside the tank for 2 hrs to dry up cuz it was full of dusters.

Put it back in the tank and they all popped back out...damn.
