Avoid placing near aggressive corals, powerheads, or in high-traffic areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant Notes: Feather dusters are sensitive to sudden changes in water parameters and require careful acclimation. Never expose the worm to air during acclimation or handling. The crown may retract frequently during the first few days as the worm acclimates - this is normal. In rare cases of extreme stress, the worm may abandon its tube and build a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTank Size: Minimum 10 gallons with stable reef parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach Feather Duster is carefully quarantined and inspected to ensure you receive a healthy specimen ready to add graceful beauty and natural filtration to your reef aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Empire Corals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52688563175703,"sku":"I39900","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2746\/7287\/files\/image_1767141401.jpg?v=1778020754","url":"https:\/\/empirecorals.com\/products\/duster-feather","provider":"Empire Corals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
