i had that happen on a small duster about 2 years ago. i took the worm and put it in a deep small hole that just fits it. it grew its skin and feather and i still have it.
92 corner bow? thats a very nice tank :thrash:

Sometimes when dusters get stressed they leave their tube and either die or set up shop somewhere else.

I've had them 'jump ship' too. They will do that when stressed. I've found that they do it when placed in a new environment (stress). When the new tube forms, many times it attaches directly to a rock. Maybe it feels more secure that way? Who knows?

funny when it came out of its tube it somehow got next to a rock and looks to be doing well
