Frequently Asked Questions
What do feather dusters eat?
They're filter feeders that capture phytoplankton and fine suspended foods from the water column. Regular phytoplankton dosing helps them thrive — they're rated moderate difficulty.
Do feather dusters need light?
No — they're non-photosynthetic and rely entirely on filter feeding, so they can be placed in shaded spots with moderate flow.
Why did my feather duster drop its crown?
Crown shedding is a stress response and the worm usually regrows it within weeks if water quality and feeding are good. Keep feeding the tank phytoplankton and avoid disturbing the tube.
