Feather Duster/Behavior?

Hello to all from SC, Thanks for all the information found on your website. It’s spectacular! After searching for some time, I have not found an answer and have decided to email. This evening while cleaning the glass, I found a slimy looking black substance on the sand next to my feather duster. All other inhabitants are present and accounted for. The feather duster looks fine and is exhibiting normal behavior. Do you have any suggestions to what this might be? My set up consists of the following: 12 gal. Eclipse System 20 lbs. live sand 12 lbs of live rock 10 lbs of dead coral from an aquarium of days gone by that cycled with this tank 1 clown fish 2 fire fish 3 mushrooms 1 feather duster 1 red foot snail 1 sand sifting star several hermits My tests for ammonia and nitrites have been 0, nitrates were up to 40 but are falling. My local fish store owner says that this is normal since my tank is just 3 months old.
