feather duster attached to rock

Dixie_reefer · Apr 13, 2013

This is my first feather duster, had it for a few moths and it is doing really well. I have it in my pico right now and it has attached itself to the base of a rock. Is there any way I can get it off the rock? I am moving soon and want to put it in the sand bed of my new tank.

Have you tried asking it nicely? Or perhaps yelling at it?
Ok I'm no help whatsoever sorry

It may move on its own if it wants to.

I would not try and pry it off, but you might be able to. Can you just break or chisel the rock where it is attached?

I probably could chisel it away if I had a chisel. I just dont want to smash him up by accident.

How long could they stay out of the water?

It can stay out for a while, just have a bucket of tank water and do some chiseling in there. Tank off a big chunk, then start trimming it down.

Personally I think they look good on rocks.

$17.00 I can cut right through most live rock with a pair of these. You can trim around the tube and keep from harming the worm inside.
They can handle being out of the water for a few minutes while you trim around the base. I have yet to lose one that I've cut off of a rock in less than 5 mins.

Hope this helps.
