I have a large Hawaiian feather duster who's tube is attached to a large piece of live rock. Is it possible to remove it from this rock? (I need to cook this rock but I don't want to kill the duster) This is one tough feather duster. I accidently pulled him out of his tube about a year ago or so when I was reaquascaping and he blew his top off and crawled under this rock. It grew back it's feather top and built a new tube very quickly. A lot people told me it would die, but it didn't.

How would I move it? Has anyone done this successfully?

The reason I want to cook the rock is because it is covered with hundreds of !@#$% blue / purple mushrooms. I have scrubbed this rock so many times I could scream. Kalk past didn't work either. I hate mushrooms!!!!!

Thanks,
Angie
