Pin It

The Feather Duster is a wonderful & fun filled addition to the reef aquarium. As the crown (radiole) which can range in a variety of colors unfurls both to feed and breathe, it appears to almost dance in the current gracefully and rhythmically. We recommend placing the duster in the substrate of your tank.

The radiole of the feather duster is used to filter small floating particulates. The small hairs on the feathers move the particulates towards the mouth of the duster. The duster creates a parchment like shell and in time of need will quickly retract its radiole into the tube out of harms way. The duster can "pop its top" aka discarding its crown which will grow back within 10-14 days on average.
Supplemental feeding of phytoplankton and liquid organic foods should be provided.

Shari of FL Feather Duster
This is another interesting selection for our tank. Just love watching the feathers flow and then retract when disturbed. Beautiful!

Connie Samaco of Florida feather duster
Great condition. Healthy and came very fast. Great prices too.
Jim Cook of Chicago, IL Feather Duster
My feather duster was in a great state - even opened up in the shipping bag after unpacking. It is now happily secured in my sand substrate and stays open all the time. The crown opens up about 1.5-2" across - very beautiful in my 38-gallon mini reef aquarium.
Tracy Owens of Houston , TX Doing Great!
I ordered 2 of these and they are doing wonderful. Opened right up when I placed them in the tank.

Sharyn Wertz of Batesburg SC Great Dusters!
Got 3 for my 120. All 3 were "blooming" in their acclimation container! Very healthy, and nicely sized. I love it that they don't go into hiding just because one of the fish swims by...they're out nearly all the time.
Stephanie C. of SC Livestock
I have to say the quality of their livestock and level of customer service exceeds every storefront in my area. Even after having things shipped they are so healthy and vibrant! I will be a repeat customer!!
