Feather dusters/Cocoworms

[Dmitry]

I'm wondering how many people have kept feather dusters and/or cocoworms long term. And what you did to help them thrive, if anything special at all. Did you ever have to spot-feed them or whatever nutrients floated around your tanks were enough?

IMO a mature tank is needed. These inverts are filter feeders. I've kept coco worms and feather dusters. They both do better in my most mature tanks.

BTW, I love the look of these animals.

I have 5 1/2 feater dusters in my cube (one grows out of both ends of it's tube..) and a cocoworm (thank you Daceman!). I've never directly fed any of them and they still seem to flourish.
A few of mine...
