Feather dusters are harmless filter feeders.

thank you Sugar

I just wanted to make sure they actually were what they looked like they were though. It's so overwhelming learning all this stuff. I haven't read this whole post/thread, but a big portion of it. It's amazing how much is out there, and that's before you get to fish and corals!

A pic would be helpful.

This is my first salt water tank. It been up and running for four days now. I was looking at it and seen this clear bug crawling around I blinked and it was gone. I do have 100lbs if live rock so I'm sure it came from there. I got a quick picture but it's not the best. Can you tell me if I need to find a way to kill this thing.

Hi I need some help. Does Myrionema amboinense look a bunch of small brown feather dusters? I have touched them to see if they sting and didn't feel anything. When I did touch them they all retracted back into their tubes. I would post a picture but not sure how to do it on here being that it wants a URL.

I haven't figured out how yet, lol. However, if you you scroll up to Jlessary it's the third picture down.
Yes, harmless duster.

Not sure what these things are
The first picture looks like a palythoa. (good) I'm not to sure about the second one. The third is of an aiptasia. (bad)

Inject the little guy with a syringe of lemon juice. Make sure to get onto the stem.

If you can take that rock out of the water, I'd burn it off with a lighter. The rock will become a little black, but with a little water it should rub right off.
