I seen a deal on ebay for 16 feather dusters from hawawii, here they sell for $10/each up by me. Figured just be a chance to get something cheap again, lol. Auction is here, if anyone else interested in some, LMK ASAP auction ends monday i believe

Shippin is only $25 then bid is at $37 so that equals way less then $10/each that i get them at. .....

From the ebay site:

THESE ARE VERY STURDY INVERTS FOR YOUR SALT WATER AQUARIUM. THEY LAST A LONG TIME AND GROW QUICKLY. THEY FEED ON ALL TYPES OF FOOD AND FILTER YOUR AQUARIUM.

While they do live 10-20 years, the claim that they feed on all types of food is patent nonsense:

Most large featherdusters have a rather short life in aquaria. They eat alot of phytoplankton and zooplankton.

I'd happily buy a few from you for $5 each if you decide to get them.
