Description
The Assorted Feather Duster represents a collection of small, vibrant tube worms from the Sabellidae family, each displaying unique colors and patterns such as red, brown, pink, and white. These peaceful invertebrates add movement and diversity to any reef tank with their delicate, fan-shaped crowns, which extend to capture food particles from the water. Known for their resilience and low-maintenance needs, Assorted Feather Dusters are a popular choice for aquarists of all experience levels.
These feather dusters thrive in areas of moderate water flow, which aids in their filter-feeding by delivering fine particulates like plankton and marine snow. To support their dietary needs, occasional supplemental feedings of liquid phytoplankton or finely powdered foods are beneficial. Feather Dusters are peaceful and compatible with most tankmates, but it’s essential to ensure stable water conditions to prevent stress or crown retraction.
Once introduced to a tank, Assorted Feather Dusters typically find a crevice or sandy area to anchor their protective tubes. With minimal care and a calm, reef-friendly environment, these small feather dusters will add a captivating, natural aesthetic to a well-maintained marine aquarium.
