That usually happens.. I got few dusters and I've seen them do it.. it will grow back in time.. during that time when your duster has no crown, it will not come out of it's tube. Do not throw it away or kill it, it will not come out as it does not have anything to protect itself or to collect food.
You will see the new crown starting up in a week or two. Good luck.

some1 in your tank may be harassing it. heads falling is the feather duster's way of fending off the harasser. the head usually grows back in a few weeks.

have any pepper int shrimp in the tank?
WOW thanks for the info
the tank is 6 months old and phosphates levels are still a little high. what could i do to lower them? (i,m using phosguard).I don't have a peppermint shrip but i do have a banded coral shrip, but it doesn't seem to harrass anybody but the fish when they swim by. for food i was adding the invertabrate smorgasboard. should i add something else.
