well i have a question for anyone willing to help me, i want to get feather dusters but people in stores keep telling me a different story.
ive been told that its easy to take care of. will someone please be nice enough to tell me what type is easier to have, what do they need, and if possible picture of yours.
p.s. do they need strong light to live?
thank you

LOL feather dusters need no light to live they are completly non photosynthetic, filter feeding worms. They are very easy IMO to care for, I have 2 in my tank and 2 hard tube cocoa worms. They require nothing more than trace elements in your water, and a stable tank environment. I feed my reef cyclops, zoe plank, and other stuff I imagine it benifits from this but I have never target fed mine, and I have had it almost a year.

Agree with PD, not hard to care for. Stable environment is key however, have lost several over the years, especially to temp. swings. Had this one for about 3 months, and recently added a second.
