They are extremely difficult to keep alive. They are almost like an non-photosyntic coral, needs continues feeding of small particles, but will die in any nitrate spike.

Maybe it's what you need to get your nitrates up?

I have read of a guy adding reef roid/cyclopeeze food to a channel on a doser, but they have to refill containers daily to keep things fresh, and after each feeding period a small automatic water change is done. When I read the article , the starfish was in captivity for 3 years at time, had lost some legs as well from minor upsets in tank.

I knew they were tough to keep alive in captivity. But have always wanted to try.

No I am no where near experienced enough to try one. But a online store in London has them listed for $25 each. If anyone should try. Maybe it would be you?

I had Crinoids a couple of times way back in the bad old days when keeping anything for long was a challenge. The longest I ever had one was about a year but they are very cool to watch and they clearly react when there is something they can eat in the water. It was in an invert only tank with tube anemones and feather dusters, with a side of the tank dedicated to macro algae so likely a lot of Micro fauna.
