Copperbands and other butterflyfish like to eat feather dusters.

My brittle star ignored mine, but YMMV.

Some angels (dwarf or otherwise) will eat them. I have seen a bicolor blenny nipping at some at the LFS.

do they eat them or is it like 50/50?

angels can be fisty but my knowledge with angels are limited at best i now the less you have the more aggressive they can be. it also varies from angel to angel

so if i had a flame angel w/ like 4 dusters, it'd be better than the flame w/ 1 duster?
