Feather Dusters

Silly question what do feather dusters feed off ? light or solid food?

Feather duster worms are non-photosynthetic and feed of phyto/zoo plankton in the water coloum.

So does that mean they dont need feeding?

without knowing what your tanks setup is like I could not say if you will need to supplement there feeding or not.

Im running a juwel trigon 190 with Hydor prime 10 canister filter, red sea prizm protein skimmer, 1x 600gph power head soon to be 2, and the original juwel filter but only using that as a power head to move the water about no media, my substrate is coral sand and i have about 15kg of cured live rock.

With no refugum producing phyto/zooplankton and that small ammount of LR you might want to supplment there feed with something like Marine Snow and or some brand of Phytoplankton. How many wiorms do you have?
