How Long Until Big?

With my live rock came like 2 or 3 feather duster worms. Not sure what kind... How long will it take before there of decent size? There just big enough to see now. I'm also adding liquid calcium.

How big is your tank? How big is it now? If its a normal feather duster, you are going to need to feed it or it will die.

There are species of FD that never get "big"... As a matter of fact its exceptionally rare to get a big one as an LR hitchhiker

its in a 20 gallon tank. What should i feed them?

If it is like less than 3/4 an inch right now, it is likely that it wont get any bigger than that. I have a bunch of these on my glass zoa frag jar. If its one of the smaller dwarf species, you dont really need to feed it if your tank is already stable. If you think its one of the bigger species, you might want to feed it phytoplankton or cyclops. Remember to spray the into the crown, not in the center.

Cyclops are too big and spot feeding is useless. Dose phytoplankton to the tank.
