feather dusters

[thewolfman777]

what and how do you feed feather dusters? are they filter feeders or do you have to feed them with a turkey baster?

Filter feeders- I think its impossible to starve or kill a feather duster. They are the Janet Reno's of inverts- too tough to kill.

filter feeders: i usually give em 'Kent Marine- Micro Vert'

I love feather dusters!! - they are pretty easy to maintain.
You need - DT phytoplankton - it's live microbacteria that you keep in the frig

i usually put some flakes or brine shrimp in a small cup of water ... with and eye dropper just spray it in the feather dusters direction .. it will get some ... i think they are one of the coolest things .. have a great day

When my tanks were new, I used to feed the Kents phytoplankton, but now that the tanks are more established (and I am skimmerless) I don't do this anymore. They get plenty of food from the natural bacteria and such in the tank.
Good luck with them!
