Crinoid or feather star

[andysho]

its is a feather star

not that easy to keep~~~

feeding is always a problem and it is very fragile

make sure no fishes peck o it

[arcanehacker]

its supposed to be a starfish or something? I always see it at Yishun FS. Looks interesting cos it looks like a plant but moves around using those root like thingy below.

Featherstar??

I don't see any red featherstar photo attached but this one of a soft coral.

Possibly Studeriotes Longiramosa (Christmas Tree Coral); a species that tends to collapse without good currents, proper substrates and plankton-type foods.

It could also be a finger leather coral...possibly Nephlthea, Capnella or Sinularia.

James, don't tell me you bought a crinoid/featherstar too!!

They are NOT recommended even for advanced reefers.

They are better left in the sea.

[Golden Tooth]

Yeah! But where's the Feather Star?

[FuEl]

Maybe usage of common names led to confusion? But I surely know that is no feather star.

[Achilles Tang]

Well... I surely know there are such things as featherstars.

Plenty of them around when I'm under the sea.
