Default TOO many Feather dusters?

Is it possible to have TOO many featherdusters? I have them everywhere in my tank. I like them, they're cute. I've even seen one attached to my Emerld Crab and a Ninja Star snail One of my doughnuts has several on it.

So, can they harm anything? Or is it just cool?

Thanks

There is nothing wrong with having a ton of feather dusters since they help clean the water by filtering out foods, however, having a lot of them showing up in a tank could indicate that your water column has excessive nutrients in it.

Yes, this was my concern. I am taking measures to balance the system.

Thanks for the input!
