Feather Duster Issue?

[Ray Martini]

Hi all:

Got a few Feather Dusters over the last couple of months. Recently two of
them seem to be shrinking and don't look as wide open and brilliant as they
did.

I was feeding them frozen brine from a syringe. I just started using Kent
Marine Zoo Plankton product to see if that might help them feel better. Is
it water quality or lakc of food? Any thoughts or ideas are always
appreciated.

Thanks ....

I feed mine a mix of ZoPlan and PhytoPlan, made by Two Little Fishes Co.. I
just mix a little of both (depending on the aquarium size) with some of the
aquarium water and use a turkey baster and squirt a little bit towards them.
They all have been doing well since doing that. My corals love that too.

Hope that helps,
Susan :)

They are filter feeders, and can't eat anything solid like a
brine shrimp. Dosing phytoplankton to your tank would be best.
