feeding for crionoid feather sea star

[djpj001]

Hello-

I recently got a crionoid feather sea star at my LFS. Is anyone familar with it's feeding prefrence. I've been reading up on this and the information I gathered stated, they are difficult to keep because it's very selective in particle size food. I'm currently feeding the sea star a mix of Phytoplan and Zoplan by two little fishes and kent marine Zoomax.

What to you feed your Crionoid??

Thx-DJPJ

How long have you had this crinoid? IMO, those supplements are not worth much. I would strongly encourage you to buy some actual phytoplankton, oyster eggs and make your own food using a blender...but even then, odds are very low.

And I personally would not run a skimmer.

I would hope to never see one of these in the hobby again but I won't be so lucky.
