The link you gave was pretty informative, Quinn and I'll add the link to the feather star's page. It mentioned that they're detritus feeders as well, which gives me even more reason to turkey baste the detritus into the water column so the 802's prefilter can remove some of it.
Actually, I just basted the tank, but since it's lights out already, the star isn't feeding and is closed up quite tightly. I observed it feeding the last time I basted, though, when the lights were on. It's positioned itself high up in the tank nearest to the powerhead as it can get, so very bright MH light isn't a problem for the animal at all.
Between spot feeding, which takes forever because the Marine Snow drifts out of reach of the star so I continually capture the escaped MS to re-feed it, and basting the tank often, I can hopefully provide suitable and enough food for it.
So, you're coming up on the 21st? I haven't heard back from Cesaer yet about who's coming and where we'll be going on the crawl.
