feather dusters ?

[marinefish]

are feather dusters sand dwelling or rock dwelling? high current or low current? high light or low light?

Featherdusters will attach to a piece of rock(that's what I have always seen). They like good current. Lighting doesn't matter, since they are strictly filter feeders and lack zooxanthellae.

You just plant the feather duster either in a rock or in the sand, but the important thing is to give it a good footing. It requires little (low) lighting and you should already have good circulation in your water.

ok thanks u guys....i just plant it in the sand bed. =)

By "planting" - do you mean cover the feather dusters foot in the sand? Or place it near LR? Or just set it in there?

 

[bang guy]

There are many species of featherdusters. They fill every niche from turbulent tide zones to volcanic vents miles deep. I'll need a little more into to help you.

Yes, you just plant the foot in the sand bed or slide the foot in the LR

I just got 3 feather dusters from SWF.com and i just put one in between my rock's, one "leaning" on a rock and again another between a rock. The first and last one attached their foot to the rock. And the second one attached itself to the rock from the "side" of its tube. Its a little wierd looking duster and has feather's on both side's.

yeah, it will attach itself to anything that it is touching. so, basically just stuff it somewhere where it won't move around and in a week or two it will be there permanently (unless you want to rip it apart to get it off)
