Hi,i am looking to buy 1 or 2 feather dusters for my tank and i am a little worried about my phosphates.My phosphates are currently at 0.5(salifert test kits) but everything else is fine(parameters below).So far my acan,duncan,gsp and some zoas(except 1 that is closed for a week now) are doing ok but i am worried if feather dusters can survive phosphates that high.

Parameters:
salinity 1.023
alkalinity 8
calcium 420 ppm
nitrates 5 ppm
phosphates 0.5 ppm

doesn't seem to bother all the little white ones in my tank.
my NO2 & PO4 numbers are way higher than yours.
I second this. Po4 was .6 for a few months in this tank, as I was busy with work and not testing.

Thx. Not my choice though. The duster moved there from about 6” over lol. Ended up working out ok though.
