it's really pretty amazing.....they started under my XL toadstool b/c of the shade and then I moved a rock with a few of them on it and didn't think it mattered much cause it would be place where there's higher light and stronger flow
now they're over running a good half the tank and growing in between the zoas...and the more i pull out the faster they grow back
i guess it's not a bad the but it's getting kind of annoying.....any ideas on what to do to calm them down a bit??

You sure it's feather dusters and not colonial hydroids? They look like tiny brown or tan feather dusters, but they're not good, and spread fast.

i have them in my tank. theyve got a white tubes and red feathers. if anything, they would be good for your tank because i think theyre known for polishing water. they breed like crazy huh? i see more and more all the time,.

Have any pictures?
Are they the kind with calcium tubes or with the sediment/parchment-ish type(serpulid and sabellid, if I remember correctly...)?
