Jesse Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Care Level: Moderate Temperament: Peaceful Reef Compatible: Yes Waterflow: Medium Water Conditions: 72-78° F, dKH 8-12, pH 8.1-8.4, sg 1.023-1.025 Color Form: Red Diet: Omnivore Origin: Caribbean Family: Sabellidae The Cluster Dusters were first described by scientists in 1820. They grow as a mass of individual small tubeworms, sometimes totaling over 100 in a single clump. Their parchment-like tubes will adhere to bits of rock. This helps to anchor the clump, which will usually be found in a shaded area of the reef. In the reef aquarium, they will require space under an overhanging rock or coral, with a gentle current delivering their planktonic meals. Since they need plankton in their diet, they will do best in a mature reef aquarium. Their combined mass of colorful radioles will filter out the available floating plankton, but can also be withdrawn into the parchment tubes if alarmed, and they are easily alarmed. If they become continually frightened or subjected to poor water quality, they may discard their radioles (fan tentacles). They will be re-grown only under proper conditions. Their mass of tubes are somewhat delicate, so care should be taken while transporting them. They should not be housed with predatory fish, serpent stars, urchins or any other invertebrate that may break them apart. The diet should be supplemented with liquid plankton solutions. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=497+504+536&pcatid=536 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muttley000 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Shouldn't matter as long as you keep the water quality up 8 minutes ago, Redd said: What’s the minimum tank size/ water volume for these guys?
