Are you speaking of the middle left of the photo, just above the zoanthid head in the shot? If so, it looks to be Aiptasia, not a feather duster. If so, you gotta get it off there.
 
Oh no! I thought it looked different to the other polyps on the gogorian!
It is the orange wormy tail I was pointing out though.
I have more aptaisia but don't know if they are harming anything ????
 
Unless the camera angle is distorting a polyp, it appears to be a small Aiptasia to me. You will want to get rid of any Aiptasia if you are keeping corals, as they can sting surrounding corals.

As far as the orange "wormy" thing, not really sure. Is it stationary or does it move? Do you have a better picture?
 
No more pics of it as it was moving quite quickly and has now moved out of view, however these were the same had now look like this...(these are on the underside of my leather

Thanks for your help
 
Nice looking group of feather dusters you have there. Can't say that I've ever seen one on the move, but I've heard of it happening.
