Feather duster help

[m000240]

I have a hawaiian feather duster, have had him for about two months, and I noticed the crown of feathers off at stuck on some rock. Is this a natural process? kinda like molting for shrimp? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have had my feather dusters loose the feathers and then they grow the back... I am not sure if it is natural or due to stress, but mine has always bounced back and they start to regrow in about a week or so..
Good Luck. If you get nervous and don't want it left dead in your tank you can smell it and if it smells like dead fish it is probably dead.
Cheers,

Chuck,

Thanks. I think I'll move him into my QT until I can be sure he's ok.
