Feather Duster - Sabellastarte sp.

Easy to keep , great for beginner's, the Hawiian Feather Duster is known as the king of the feather dusters.

They have the nicest fan-shaped crowns, (radiole's).

The radiole may be up to 7 inches in diameter, and brightly colored.

The Feather Duster uses the radiole to filter out small floating organisms, which it directs toward its mouth, located at the center of the crown.

It protects its segmented body by secreting a parchment-like tube to cover itself.

When it is disturbed, it can quickly pull in its radiole into the tube. If it is severely stressed, it will discard its crown, growing it back later.

The Feather Duster is usually found in the coral rubble at the base of the reef aquarium, with some of the rubble being incorporated into its parchment-like tube.

Diet:

Supplemental feeding of phytoplankton and liquid organic foods should be provided.


Reef Compatability:

An excellent reef aquarium species because it will not bother invertebrates.

Level of Care: A good specimen for beginners, easy


Approximate Purchase Size: 4" to 6"
