feather duster

[Diver4life]

Hello all. How many feather duster can I add to my 75 gals tank?
does marine snow two little fish brand is good to feed them?

Never heard of a limit (like hermit crabs) but keeping enough of them fed may probably be the challenge to having a lot of them. For food I've done well with phytoplankton and zooplankton. Placement is key for these guys so don't be quick (or IMO never) to permanently affix them somewhere.

at least somebody answer,thanks.where best places to affix them? lower on the LR, slow current? give me an idea please, and I have marine snow product from two little fishes, think will be enough for them?

I put mine at the bottom in the sand. One kind of buried part of his tube under a rock. The other is resting on top of the other one. I feed phytoplankton. They seem happy!

I have two in a 55 gall. I placed them in the sand, and I must say I have never fed mine the things you listed, hmm I think I should get some. They do look fine tho, always open and big.

Thanks guys, your response help me a lot.

Already get 5 today, but 2 are not opened yet,this is normal? or I should be worry ?

Two not opening isn't uncommon. I've seen them come in from shipments and not open for two days or longer. Some adjust quickly while others take some time.

The Marine Snow is a pretty good product. Works fantastic in my friends tank. Everything from SPS to feathers like it. I have a bottle but haven't used it yet.

I will try mine tomorrow, And thanks for the information about the dusters< I feel better now.

I had one that was small for the longest time but once I found a good spot for him (by trial and error) -- in the sand -- he eventually achored himself near a rock and then flourished (got much fuller and larger).
