Grizz,

Have you noticed if yours is actually consuming the brine shrimp and growing?
The larger feather dusters can collect larger food particles, but only seem to bind them in mucus and expel them in their faeces.
They do really only digest phytoplankton.

Those guys feed on phytoplankton. (or is it zooplankton..)
Anyways, when you first get them they have a fairly large "crown" but will shed it for a smaller one to possible adapt to less food being available.
They will live longer if you could maybe feed them some DT's.
:smile:

I havnt tried DTs yet....but I have been dosing Kent's phytomax(not the best, I know), sponge power, coral vitalizer, Amino acids and extra....so hopefully Ive got it covered....thanks for the tip though....

I don't feed them a lot but have never seen them expel anything. I have read on a couple site they will feed on brine so I gave it a shot.
