I did have a red one, but he did not last long.. Very cool to watch swim around the tank but more than likely you will soon see his feathers fall off untill there are none left. Good luck with him.

I found an article about them here that might be helpful: http://www.wetwebmedia.com/crinoids.htm">http://www.wetwebmedia.com/crinoids.htm</a>

Great read, thanks!

I always put these in the category of sea dragons, pinnatus batfish and rock beauties. Impossible to improbable to keep successfully. I think they are fascinating to watch feed, like sea apples. I hope he is successful.
