Gorgonocephalus_eucnemisDLC2001_zpsb0a99015.jpg

These are also the ones I'm used to seeing being pulled up w/ scientific equipment on moorings.


Haven't seen this type before. Looks more like a feather duster.

How do you feed it?

Phito feast im guessing. I tries to spot feed with brine shrimp but didnt even snag 1,, so im assuming he is a filter guy

You know what Kyle, it looks more like a crinoid (aka feather stars and sea lilies). What does the base of yours look like? You may have a feather star.
Check this out, article.

Yep,, the Pix under "behavior" is exactly what I have, and the 2nd video after that, the "dancing" one, is exactly what he does. I even double asked the LFS store guys since I thought I knew what a basket star was. :) THX!!! :)

Your lfs down there have the neatest creatures.

I hope you can keep it alive. It looks really cool. Knowing what it is and what/how it eats is a start!

Next time you see it swimming, take a vid, I would love to see it in action.
