feather dusters...

well. ive been wondering.. since feather dusters are worms.. filter feeders. do they need light to survive in a tank?

i was wondering if i could get those for my 150 even though i haven't gotten my good lights yet. i only have the 4 bulbs of 32 watts each.

my question came because i saw this jacker on one of my rocks.. thought it was aipstasia.. since im fighting this little pest right now but no... it wasnt it. i looked at it and it is definitely a filter feeder. kinda looks like... eye lashes.... but they make a cone shaped thing. there is like 4 of them.

 

anyone

 

i have 2 feather dusters that until a couple days ago were under a standard single fluorescent strip light from walmart or something like that. so i would venture to say that there is no way the need ANY light. on top of that the bulbs were worn out

 

i went to do some reading and i found out they arent photosynthetic..and they look amazing.. i think im getting some of those... anybody knows a good site to get feather dusters from?

 

sorry cant help with a site. but what kind of feather duster worm are thinking about getting.

 

I had one under a 5 watt fluorescent for a long time and it seemed to be doing great.

 

a duster cluster. and maybe 2 red feather dusters. that will add some color to the tank.;D

 

those are sweet. im thinking about getting a coco worm myself.

 

yea they are pretty cool... im hoping my lfs gets some so i dont have to order online.

 

Petco has them all the time, if they dont have them they can order them with no shipping charges.
