Over the last 3-4 months I’ve noticed a boom of feather dusters. Currently I have a 20L with probably close to 500 of them....it’s crazy and they are just unsightly and annoying other coral. Best fish to rid of these?
Not gonna put in an arrow crab

Can we see some pics of the dusters in question?

I believe some wrasses will eat them. Bumblebee snails (ReefCleaners has them) will likely eat them. Manual removal is also worth a shot.

I was thinking bumblebees too for the few tube snails I do see. I only have three fish (mandrain and mated clowns) so that’s why I was looking for a fish.
