Amphibious is on a distinguished road
If you can remove the rock, you can carefully cut away his tube. HOWEVER, too much trauma and Feather Dusters are know to "drop" their "feather" which of course is used for food and oxygen up take. So, if that happens it will put undue stress on the worm and possibly cause it's demise. They often recover and grow a new "feather" and are fine. Just wanted you to know the possibility of lose.

The "glue" they secrete through their skin picks up mud from their natural surroundings. In the aquarium that could be sand, gravel or, as most of us find out, it sticks to rock.
