I work at a LFS and we got our order in today. Our supplier sent us a feather star instead of a feather duster. I have done a little research on them as I once wanted one very badly. I gave up becuse they are so hard to keep and are such specialized feeders. But I figgure that I should at least try to keep this creature alive since sending it back to the ocean is impossible. I acclimated it for 5 hours and now it is in the very mature reeftank at my work. the tank has been set up for 5+years. we have successfully kept linckias for almost that long. I plan on letting it adjust to the tank for a few days to a few weeks and then transfering it to my home tank where I can feed it at night. I found a picture in a book that looks a lot like it. The species name of the one in the book is a Petasometra clarae.
If anyone has any other information, please let me know. Ill get a picture up in a few days. I would especially appreciate info from Beth. How is yours doing, how have you been caring for it? Ophiura, your opinion would also be appreciated of course.
Thanks
