You may want to try putting a larger shell in the tank, It might be looking for an upgrade (larger) shell due to growth. Not sure though!

They should be able to regrow their shell as long as you have the right nutrients in the tank. This can happen from time to time when they want to relocate.

feather duster leaving it's shell has never been a good thing in any of my tanks they have usually died when this happens. They do grow a new shell but only to existing shell that I have seen. Did it shed it's crown?
