Feather dusters are non-photosynthetic so their food requirements are very difficult to meet. Feather dusters don't usually survive in typical reefs.

Ive had mine for years. Three worms grew out of the live rock I bought and they have been doing well ever since. Maybe just luck or just a good kind that does well in captivity. Who knows.

I think he's talking about a coco worm type feather duster not the run ofthe mill reef dusters as I call em

[Corbin]

Really? I see lots of them in reef tanks that have been around for awhile.

I know they are filter feeders but if you feed your tank well.....mine is almost a year old and I do nothing special to it ? Do they have specific special needs ?
