feather star or other wise known as a crinoid. any feeding sugestions? any one have success with these guys?
 
usually found in the coral rubble at the base of the reef aquarium, with some of the rubble being incorporated into its parchment-like tube. It needs to be housed in a well-established reef system as it is dependent upon plankton for its diet. It is very intolerant of copper-based medications.
 
they need [plankton or they will not do very well
 
Regular direct feedings with micro-vert or phytoplex would be my suggestion. From what I have read these can be really difficult to sustain and are best left on the reefs.
