Do Feather Dusters do better in a Refugium (slow current) or Main Aquarium (faster current)?

Question

I have a part of my marine aquarium separated by mesh, for a refugium area. Peaceful fish in the main part of it. Where should I put my new feather dusters?

Answer 1

feather dusters aka tube worms are called filter feeders, they use the current to get there food, so the fast current would bring more food and make them healthier. But be careful because some fish will try to eat the dusters feathers off so watch out with the fish. also large hermits will kill your dusters.

Answer 2

I would say fast current, the ones closest to the intake in my tank grow faster

Answer 3

Vigorous water movement is helpful for aeration, excretion, circulation of food items...
