If you wanted to purchase a feather duster but you want one which is more colorful you can look into purchasing the Dwarf Colored Feather Duster. It's different from the average Feather Duster because it's more colorful and comes in different colors such as yellow and pink. It's also more fluffy than your average Feather Duster. It still gets to be the same size however, around 8 inches. Even though the name is the Dwarf Feather Duster, it's doesn't stay smaller than your average Feather Duster. It's very easy to care for and it's a very peaceful invertebrate. We called in an invertebrate because it's alive yet it doesn't have a backbone. Instead it grows on a stalk and then forms what looks like a fan at the top. When this feather duster gets stressed out it will often lose the fan at the top. It will often times get stressed out when you place medication inside of the tank. If you are planning on treating your fish with any types of medication you will want to remove all invertebrates from your tank, which includes the Dwarf Colored Feather Duster.

To keep this Feather Duster alive, you will want to keep the temperature in your fish tank at a steady temperature of between 71 to 76 degrees. You will also want to make sure that the salinity stays somewhere between 1.022 and 1.025. Your fish will often times require a temperature between 1.021 and 1.026 so you will want to make sure that your salinity is right before placing the Feather Duster inside of your saltwater fish tank. As long as you keep the temperature and salinity right you will be able to keep the Feather Duster alive.
