feather duster tube worm

So. .. who's the pro on these guys.. how do I see to it he is a happy camper?

 

If the worm stays extended with its crown out, it means it's happy. If it drops its crown or retracts into its tube and doesn't come out, that means something is wrong.

 

OH,, it comes out and is really cool...

..no special feeding needs?

 

I have a bunch these mini feather dusters and i think i remember someone said that they feed on plankton? Im not sure though

 

So, apparently that means you aren't feeding yours anything special?

 

Nope but yours is bigger so i think u will have too

 

They feed off the column. Don't need to feed them, if you have other corals.

 

I have a purple one that i have never fed, its doing great.

 

thanx all.. is just what I needed to hear...

I have not target fed mine. Most of the time if I try to, it gets spooked and hides inside the tube.
It just collects whatever it can from the water. I know mine is eating (a lot) because when it poops it shoots out like a semi-automatic shotgun.

 

They poop? LOL ..I haven't thought about that. At the other end of the tube,..I suppose.. :scratchch

 

Everything poops

 

Nope! It's like tequila. It comes out the same way it came in.

 

isn't that a kids book??

get a bottle of filter feeder food and squirt the water column near them
thats how i do my 10 or so

 

That's EveryONE Poops.

 

Not.. if you know how to drink.. in moderation....

I once drank a half 5th of JimBeam and it came out the way in went in.. and I didn't know which end of mine was which... I do remember everything was drunk and moving... I was in the Navy then. I have no idea how I got back aboard my ship.. I think the Shore Patrol took me back and through me in my rack (bed). I am sure I did not get back under my own power.

OK... filter feeder food and more pods are on my shopping list.
