feather dusters

[jhouse]

ok i have a outbreak of feather dusters in my sand any ideas on how to reduce them they cover almost all of my sand expect where my hermit crabs pull them out to get to the sand any help would be nice thanks for your time Jessica

hummm. what type of tank do you have? What is in it? The only thing I have ssem actually eat them is a puffer fish but if you have a reef that wouldn't be a good idea as they will chomp on the corals too.

i have a 55gl with gold banded maroon clownfish, a damsel, and blue legged hermit crabs fish only tanks

 

[jhouse]

If you want to get rid of some of them please let me know... I would like to expand the few I have.

 

[jhouse]

they r just the common little white one but if you want some i will gladly give you some of the one from my sand

The puffer I had was a Saddle Valentini Puffer (Canthigaster valentini). He will probibly eat your hermits to tho.

 

[jhouse]

ok then no puffer lol i love my hermits

Oooh - I would love some! My old reef years ago had a billion and now I don't have any in my current.
I got an Arrow Crab once back then and that did a number on them - I think dusters are their fav!

 

[jhouse]

are you sure you want some they are just the small white ones but you welcome to have some

Filter feeders are always a good thing to have IMO. I would not eliminate them all.

 

[jhouse]

[truebeliever71]

I have one small one so I'll take any you want to get rid of.
