• Diet: Filter feeder: phytoplankton, fine particle foods and dissolved organics

Care and Tank Setup

Feather dusters need a mature reef with moderate, indirect flow that carries food past the crown. Wedge the tube into a rock crevice or bury the base in the sand so it stands upright. In a well-fed tank they need little extra care; in very clean systems, add phytoplankton or a fine particle food a few times a week.

If stressed, a feather duster may drop its crown. This is not always fatal; with good water it can regrow a new one. Drip acclimate slowly and keep copper out of the tank.

Tank Mates

Feather dusters are reef safe and fit with peaceful fish such as the Banggai Cardinalfish, and with other filter feeders like the Hard Tube Coco Worm. Grazers such as the Astraea Snail leave them alone. Avoid butterflyfish, angelfish, puffers and triggers, which nip at the crowns.
