small feather dusters. .

[Teremei]

I have some dusters in my refuge. Well I'm currently breaking it down and saving as many dusters as I can. Question is, how do these guys reproduce? Because I didn't even notice any tubes on this rubble rocks when I got them from seacrop. Now I have 4 or 5 dusters in my fuge.

The other thing I'd like to know is what's the best place online to get rocks that are guarantee'd to have small dusters on them?

TBS rocks are known to have all kinds of life including FD, sponges, corals, and unfortunatly the occasional Mantis Shrimp. www.tbsaltwater.com
To answer your other question Feather duster worms reproduce both sexually and asexually. Sexual reproduction involves the release of gametes into the water where the fertilized eggs develop into free-swimming larvae that eventually settle in an appropriate habitat. In the case of Serpulids, they settle on corals and the coral grows around the calcareous tube they build, making asexual reproduction nearly an impossibility for them. Soft tube varieties reproduce sexually, but many form dense colonies of clones by a budding process called scissipary. In this process the posterior end of the worm breaks off and develops a new crown while the "parent" grows a new posterior.
