i have what may seem a stupid question to those who know. my wife and i were talkin reef while rearangeing aquascaping. can someone tell us how a feather duster feeds? the fan is the filter, and it lives in the tube. does it feed through the fans, simular to a leaf? or does it trap nutrients in the fan, and draw them in to feed? as we watched our retract slow into the tube and then emerce fully, this question arose. thanx in advance, john and treasa. REEF-ON!!!

it catches phytoplankton and other micro organisms, and brings them in, or at least this is my best guess, most logical too

thanx, thats what was thought, mr pink floyd. off the subject, ive seen them 3 times in concert. i have every cd available. some from my childhood, (the early to mid 70's) are not available. the superdome was the greatest of the 3. nashvile then UK arena 80,000 floydians sang every word to every song and stood the entire 4 hrs. best concert and band ever. REEF-ON!!!
