Hole In Feather Duster Tube!!!!!

[Baby Ray]

I have had a feather duster for awhile now, probably about 6 months and he was doing great. Showing his crown almost all the time. I just recently added a very timid pygmy angel to my tank and so all of a sudden, and huge hole has appeared in my feather duster tube. I haven't seen the pygmy pecking at it and I don't think it is the culprit but I might be wrong. The FD is still opening up but not as often. Will the tube heal back? Also, I feed oyster feast once a week for him.
Ill try to get a pic in the morning.

They can rebuild their tunes like crazy when they feel the need. They can also leave the tube if they arent happy. I wouldnt worry yet. Just monitor it

Will do Thanks
I was thinking about giving it to a friend of mine as a tank warming gift but I don't want to give him an unhealthy FD.

The tube is made of debris and sand....mine has made his tube 4 tomes longer then it was when i vought it a year ago as attached him self to the bottom of the tank

Will it be able to rebuild its tube even when the hole is on the top of the tube?

I imagine if it wants to or at all feels the need to. It may not even care about it... pics would help thougg. When you can

Its hard to tell in the pic tbh...also they like their turbes mostly burried in the substrate. Im sure he is on they... if he loses his crown id worry more but even then they can grow em back. As long as it doesnt leave the tube hes happy

Thank you. I tried to bury is tube when I got him but it was too hard. No matter how deep I buried it the tube would just pop back up so I left it.
