what is this attached to my elegance coral

[Aaronreef]

Hi all. After rearranging some of my tank I have noticed this sticking out of my elegance. Sorry for the bad photos trying to get a better image
I think it's a feather duster?

Yup, looks like a tube worm or a fan worm

May I ask where you purchased your elegance coral at. I've purchased one from Austin Aqua Farms, and 4 from LiveAquaria (all supposably from Australia) and all have died within 2 months. Everything else from bubble corals, torches, chalices, and even my SPS have no issues surviving. I'd love to be able to keep one that actually lives, but after 5 attempts, I don't know why they want stay living in my tank :-(.

They have the comical bottom shape or flat?

The one from Austin Aqua Farms was flat, the 4 from LiveAquaria had the cone shape bottoms.

I'm from the UK, but got it from my local maidenhead aquatics

Sounds like the 4 from la may have been indos. No surprise.

The free growing indos usually have the cone base shape. The aussies are usually frags with the flatter base. Aussies have been more hardy per forum talk. . Next purchase ask for a picture of the the base. If it’s conical, skip it.

So flat base means Aussie???? When I asked my LFS about it way back when my flat based one was about to die, he told me the opposite. He said that the conical bases are from Australia. Very Interesting!?!?!
