Dwarf Colored Feather Duster

General information

The Dwarf Colored Feather Duster is a cool addition to the aquarium because it adds beauty and color. Its radiole is either colored pink, white, or yellow. It grows up to 4 in. Its fan-shaped crown is not only used for filter feeding but also for protection. 

It uses its fan-shaped radioles to filter through the water for food. It is an omnivore that mainly subsists on phytoplankton. It must also be fed with liquid organic food.

It is native to the waters of the Indo-Pacific region.

Unlike other invertebrates, it can tolerate copper-based medications.

When taking the invertebrate out, expose it to as little light as possible and turn the aquarium lights off. Place the invertebrate container bag in the aquarium and let it float for 15 minutes. Open the bag and pour in 1 ounce of aquarium water into it, do so every 5 minutes until the water inside the bag has doubled. Wait for 5 minutes before pouring off half the water inside the bag into the aquarium. Then, slowly place each animal in the aquarium. Turn the aquarium lights on after an hour or more.
