Peppermint shrimp cleaned them out in no time. I was sad to see them all go.

Why would you remove feather dusters?

These guys are taking over my tank. They are pretty much covering all the rock work and it looks like a fuzzy carpet. Unsightly to me.

If those are really feather duster worms them a copperband would be the solution.

Copperband
Would so love to get one but unfortunately it would be a death sentence for him ...

The over abundance will eventually pass. Nutrient levels may also be a bit too high providing food for them. Why kill these little guys anyways. They are great little filter feeders .

Just to see an example . This was about a year after a restart of a old tank looking at one section of a LF. Now a year later only a few to be seen in the tank anywhere. Don't introduce anything to a tank that you know someday you will regret doing.
They really are good little guys and beautiful in a close in shot I took of just one.
