Natural predators for pesky feather dusters?

[thesassyindian]

Any of you have had experience controlling the number of feather dusters in your tanks?

For the most part, they don’t bother me, but they’ve started growing amongst my zoa polyps and are unsightly. I’ve been plucking them off with tweezers, but they keep coming back!

Nice Thanks @ashburn2k - unfortunately, the suggested min tank size for CBB is 75gal. I'm looking for a solution for a 13.5gal tank

Wash the rock outside of your tank and they should come off.

With fresh saltwater or RO?

if its all zoas, just run it under rodi or Shake the rock in the water will do, but you are right, that still won’t kill them, which is why I had to get CBB to erase them from my tank

Do bumble bee snails eat dusters? I think they are used to wipe out Vermetid snails, but not sure about "worms"

People have had mixed with BBS and vermetids as well :/
I need to replenish my cerith snails stock anyway, so maybe I'll just go with bumble bee snails
