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

One individual feather duster with a fully developed crown. Ideal for accent placement in reef or macroalgae displays. Great for observing natural feeding and extension behavior.

3 Feather Dusters

Three individual feather dusters for a fuller visual display. Enhanced movement and filtration presence within the system. Ideal for creating natural clustered placement.

Care Information

Lighting Low to Moderate
Water Flow Moderate
Placement Rockwork, rubble zones, or substrate
Care Level Moderate
Growth Rate Slow
Feeding Filter feeder (phytoplankton, micro foods, suspended organics)

Special Considerations

Feather dusters are sensitive filter feeders that rely on stable water conditions and consistent availability of fine suspended nutrients. They may retract frequently when first introduced or when disturbed, but will extend more consistently once acclimated. Moderate, consistent flow is essential to deliver food while maintaining full crown extension.

🌱 Propagation

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
