Pink Dwarf Feather Duster
The Pink Dwarf Feather Duster (Sabella sp.) is a peaceful species that is reef-safe, admired for its delicate, fan-like pink feeding crown, compact size, and charming ornamental presence in reef aquariums. This species is not sexually dimorphic in an obvious way, so males and females are generally similar in appearance, while juveniles display the same pink crown in a smaller form. They reach about 1.5–2.5 inches in length (tube plus crown) and should be housed in aquariums of at least 10–15 gallons.
Provide a stable substrate or live rock for tube attachment, gentle water flow, and areas protected from strong currents.

Added the Pink Dwarf Feather Duster to my 15-gallon reef tank. It looks beautiful with its soft pink crown. It’s peaceful and doesn’t interfere with corals. The size is compact and fits well in the tank without taking up too much space. I’m happy with the aesthetic and the ease of care.

The duster arrived quickly and matches the description. It’s small and has a lovely pink crown. I placed it on a live rock shelf where the water flow is gentle. It’s been a few weeks and it’s still active and looks healthy.

This is a great addition to a small reef tank. The pink crown is very noticeable and adds a nice touch. It’s not aggressive and doesn’t seem to stress other inhabitants. I appreciate the compact size and the fact it’s reef-safe.
