Just stopped by Absolutely Fish

[thirty5]

On the way back from visiting frags-unlimited I stopped at AF (just to look), but i almost did buy a harlequin shrimp.

I saw in their tank in the front of the coral section. This red animal it was absolutely beautiful. It is in the starfish family, but I thought that it was actually a feather duster. I talked to one of the workers about it (i forget the name of the animal), but he grabbed it and then put it down and it started to walk with the feathers, it was WILD.

Anyone know what it is? I will try to find a pic, but i have to say that I HAVE TO HAVE ONE, when my tank is ready. As long as it will be peaceful with my other occupants.

Sounds like a crinoid.

Those are cool. Coralcruze had one the last time i saw his tank a little more than a year ago. It is pretty awesome. I just got back from Dom's and had to fight the urge to stop by Absolutely Fish and Frags unlimited. Especially since Jason got that Aussie shipment.
What did you get?

They have really bad survival rates.
Require a lot of food in the water column.

Beautiful but very hard to keep alive unless you have a dedicated non-photosynthetic tank with special feeding system.
