I assume this is a fan / tube worm? They feed on phytoplankton so they do well with the addition of a little phytoplankton or in a very productive tank. Not sure about the mantis. My guess is yes, it will eat it.

day three and the mantis hasnt touched it yet. i have had the tank for over a year now and have yet to see this mantis. kinda odd. the feather duster is doing great getting more bold and staying out longer. im thinking of adding another one. i bought some phytoplankton to feed it, its the liquid life bioplankton i figured it could eat that as well as my zoos and other filter feeders. good product? how often should i feed? once a week? its in a mini reef
