Feather Duster Creating Clone??

[reeferlandrau12]

It looks like my feather duster is splitting off on it's 'butt' end. Does that mean it's going to create a clone of itself. i read somewhere that they could do that. I attached a picture. the section i colored in red is how thick it use to be. now it looks like if i touch it, its 'butt' could fall off. I checked all my water param. but they're all good. and none of my fish ever bother it, so i know it's not stressed. hmm.

if its end did separate, should i leave it alone? i wouldn't want it fouling the water though.

Are you sure that it is the worm that is splitting and not the parchment tube it lives in ?
If it does split I would leave it and see if then other half is alive . If it is dead your cuc will smell it and go to work...

hmm, not sure. i'd have move it a bit to check it out. i guess i'd have to discard it if it's just the tube.
