Virtually IMPOSSIBLE to care for....DISMAL survival record. I really strongly discourage there care in anything but very very very large tanks with a full blown refugium with lots of larval invertebrates. Even crinoid experts can't keep these things alive for long.
Pristine water quality, long acclimation is a must. Definitely specific gravity of 1.025-1.026. Most suffer from shipping issues. Nocturnal, and will curl up during the day.
Almost certainly doomed.

Just to let you all know about our progress on the feather star, we are doing ok. Someone told me that they are filter feaders so we do DT in our tank and he seems to be alright for now. We will see how he keeps up.
