Hello! I am new to the forums and this is my first post. I tried to look if there was an answer to this, but could not. Sorry if this is a repeat post.

I found to what appears to be a baby feather duster in our tank. It is literally the size of the tip of an ultra fine tip sharpie (maybe even a little smaller). The tube is white and the duster part looks like it is pinkish (its so small its hard to tell). I have no idea where it came from...we have one large brown colored feather duster...but I am not sure how feather dusters pro-create anyhow...

My question is, I don't want this little guy to get eaten or trompled on by our snails. What should I do with him? He is so small I am not sure if I could get him out of the tank without hurting him.

Thanks for your help!

first off, welcome to RB!!!!

Now to answer your question.

It is VERY common to find small feather dusters on your LR.

It is most likely a Bispira brunnea. thye come in white, pink, brown and purple.

they like to live together in groups, so it wouldnt be a unlikely if you have dozens more.

I doubt your snail will squish it, these worms are VERY hardy and will thrive in many aquarium conditions.
