About this item
Citrine Crown Feather Duster
Citrine Crown Feather Duster (Sabellidae sp.) is a premium ornamental filter-feeding invertebrate recognized for its brilliant yellow crown of feather-like radioles arranged in a full circular display. Its vivid citrine coloration creates a glowing, sunlit effect that immediately draws attention, making it a standout centerpiece in reef aquariums and macroalgae systems.
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.

- 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
