About this item
Sunfire Crown Feather Duster
Sunfire Crown Feather Duster (Sabellidae sp.) is a vibrant ornamental filter-feeding invertebrate recognized for its bold circular crown of feather-like radioles displaying deep crimson coloration accented with radiant golden-yellow highlights. The striking contrast creates a “sunfire” effect, making it a dynamic focal point in reef aquariums and macroalgae displays.
Each feather duster resides within a protective tube anchored to rock or substrate, extending its crown into the water column to capture suspended plankton, micro-particles, and organic matter. When undisturbed, the crown remains fully extended and gently sways with water movement, but will retract rapidly when startled, adding a responsive and interactive element to the aquarium.
Available Options
1 Feather Duster

- Ideal for accent placement in reef or macroalgae displays

3 Feather Dusters

Sunfire Crown Feather Dusters reproduce in the wild through broadcast spawning:
- Adults release gametes into the water column during spawning events
- Free-swimming larvae develop before settling and forming new tubes
- Propagation is not typically observed in closed aquarium systems
