    i just purchase a feather duster the other day. and today i had noticed that it is not as lively, like the color. the "feathers" are turning clear. it also comes out like 1in to 1.5in. it is not hiding as fast as it use to be. can anyone help me?

    how old is your tank, do you know any of your parameters, what type of lights do you have?

    I also love feather dusters, and have a tiny one on a newly added rock. How fast do they grow?

    i am probably wrong but i think there pretty slow growers. atleast ive never noticed a considerable amount of growth from ones ive kept.

    I'd say since I put mine in the 135 sometime around 12 July, it has gone from dime sized to quarter!

    my tank has been running for about less than a month. and then i started to add a clown fish, snails, and some crabs. parameters are ph:8.0, NH3/NH4: 0 mg/l, NO2:<0.3. i cant remember what type of bulb but its for the corals, the guy help me picked it out bc i told him what i wanted after the tank is done cycling.
