How to attach feather dusters?
I have alot(about 100) of small white feather dusters in my refugium intertweened with my macroalgae. I would like remove them and attach them to a rock or maybe even place them in the sandbed in my display tank. What would be the best way to do this with out hurting them?

If they are the ones with the hard tube you could use drops of super glue gel to attach them to some rock rubble. Its a delicate job and a tweezers will help out a lot. If they are the soft tube type try burying some under a light layer of sand in a low flow area.
Good luck!

They are soft and very delicate. squish very easily. Will try the sand tip. I think that will work best. Now i just have to be very very careful when dettaching them from the macroalgae.

I wouldn't super glue the soft ones. In fact, I would probably wait until they get bigger before you try to move them. If you still want to move them, I would softly scrape them off the algae and place them on the sand bed, keeping them submerged in water as you transfer. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think their own body weight can crush them if taken out of saltwater.
