    Hello
    Here,s the story. The guy at the pet store gave me a Feather Duster for free, he said it was going to die because it shed its tube.
    It looks healthy otherwise.

    Dose it have a chance??? Or is it doomed

    Thanks in advance

    It looks good today also, just have to wait and see.
    By the way , it had small peices of substrate attached to where its shell was.

    If the worm is rebuilding its tube it should be fine. Did the worm drop its "feathers" crown?

    No, just the tube.
    But the one that already was in the tank did that awhile ago but grew back a new one.
