feather star

[Wormy]

Don't do it! They are reef safe, but absolutely not hardy. It's almost impossible to provide them with enough planktonic food. They need a constant stream of food rich water to feed on, or they will eventually die. They aren't impossible to keep, but difficult enough to make it highly impractical. This is a critter best left in the oceans.

It's pretty easy now to accidentally submit the same post twice. If you post and the system is busy, or gives you a data missing message it will often repeat the post when you reload to try again. Apparently only moderators can delete a post, not even the originator.

Any one familar with a feather starfish? I saw a few at LFS yesterday. They look kind of like a sea whip when the feathers are expanded. Are they hardy and reef safe? Thanks
