Few months back I bought a monster feather duster from a guy that seriously had about a 4"-5" fan. Over the past month or so it had obviously gotten smaller and the tube opening was almost growing shut and I assumed since I stopped feeding it so often it was unhappy. I feed corals heavy in my tank and didn't see the need to spot feed him.

Anyways, last night I looked in the tank and now there are 2 distinct worms. The opening that I thought was growing shut was actually just splitting I guess. Had no idea how feather dusters spawned till this.
 
I'll snap some tonight. It was lights out when I noticed.

Another question: Do they split because they're happy or because they're stressed (like a BTA)?

I had one that split. Than one jumped from the tube, and they both died shortly after.

Probably just a fluke, but that's what happened to me...:sad:

Pumps off and spot feed reefplankton,cycloeeze, etc with a dropper. This is a big guy so it's pretty easy.
