Not easy creature to keep...

Ha.... Thought it is a cooked octopus.

Impossible to keep in aquarium for long.

IMO they are harder to keep compared to flame scallops.

They are very very FUSSY eaters. Somemore they are not filter-feeders. They actually trap plankton using mucus on their cilia. And not all plankton will be taken..only specific ones that they recognise.

My bro got one from bukit timah shopping centre b4,

not successful, died less than a month.

[loonz]

That used to cost $5 at Reborn...several years ago...not sure about now..

IMHO, stay off the crinoids unless you enjoy watching your pets shed its fur. Only this time, they actually die in the end. I used to have a red one. I was kinda like watching falling leaves in autumn.
