Feather Dusters?

[roadrunner]

I purchased 2 feather dusters yesterday for my tank but i'm somewhat unsure of where i can or should place them? Do they really move around if their not happy?

 

[bot587]

Yes, feather dusters will try and move to a new location if they are unhappy

 

[roadrunner]

what type of location will make a duster happy?

 

[nm reef]

Moderate current and moderate lighting....someplace where they can be free of disturbances and potential threats. As a rule they are very adaptable and can survive under a broad range of conditions.

what is a potential threat to a feather duster?

roadrunner what is a potential threat to a feather duster?
A strong stream of water flow near a power head or pump that wont allow it to open in full to catch its food. Also watch for the filters suction tube, make sure it dont get sucked in.

does anyone have a picture of how they have thier feather duster placed in their tank? If so i would love to see!

 

[roadrunner]

do feather duster's attach themselves to LR. I think mine is and i'm not sure and i want to move it to a better location but i dont want to hurt it?

 

[roadrunner]

can you bury a feather duster in the sand?

I have had this feather duster for about 4 months now and he has stayed on the LR where you see him the whole time...he looks pretty happy there! I haven't tried to bother him so I don't know if he's attached or not, I doubt that he is but again, I don't know for certain....my other feather duster started out on a rock but either he moved himself or my damsel moved him, not sure! Anyway, just wanted to show a pic of my pretty duster
