I'm thinking of adding a Pink Dwarf Featherduster Worm to my tank. I have the following stock/ hitchhikers:

Six-line Wrasse

Cherub Dwarf Angel

Neon Dottyack

Lawnmower Blenny

Banggai Cardinal

Green Reef Chromis

Red variant Mithrax crabs

Red- and Blue-legged Dwarf Hermit Crabs

Assorted snails: Cerith, Nassarius, Astria, Zebra Turbo, Marginella, Vermatid

Micro Serpent Stars

Asterina Stars

Fromia Star

Yellow Cucumber

Does anything on this stocking list suggest a Pink Dwarf Featherduster should not be added?

Thank you.
 
Can’t speak to the angel or mithrax crabs… but the dozens of Xanthid crabs I’ve had/found have never touched my natural feather dusters on my rock. I have pretty big worms by now too and small ones still. Both are deep in the rock caves and on the faces of the rock.

I was worried about my yellow coris initially and I think he did aptly nip a crown or too of some of my bright white ones or they just shed; but they grew back. And the rest were too big or he realized I would feed him or he’s just not interested. I have dozens now, even a colonial set of feather dusters. So the sixline would be my worry but I think that worm should be so big that it’s not even an option for their mouth size. I don’t know that fish personally.

Might sound selfish but depending on the price I think it could be worth a go. I’m imagining it’d be too big a snack for most things-anything you listed. Second or rather first priority would be feeding and maintaining health.

Also, I’m someone on the internet and this is all livestock adjacent opinions to your livestock. Your risk is your reward.
