Dwarf Pink Featherduster Worm
Feather Dusters aren't technically a coral, but they are sessile (stuck in one spot), filter-feeding, beautiful and hardy. They are appealing to hobbyists due to their unique structure and pink fan-like cilia. When stressed or frightened, the Feather Duster will retract into its tube for protection. The Pink Dwarf Feather Duster has a small size, making them ideal for smaller aquariums. Like any invert, they need higher salinity than fish, and they don't tolerate copper at all. Most aquarists should have no issue keeping them alive without extra attention, as feathers will usually get enough food from fish waste and fine food particles. Be sure to add them to well-established aquariums. For best health and growth, weekly feedings are recommended of tiny food like zooplankton. They will sometimes leave their tube for a better location with a stronger current. They will build a transparent tube in a few hours then coat it with detritus and sand.
