@Gray Levison, I don't have my DSLR right now but I will explain my system for you, So for the Display Tank, I have 2 large SPS colonies, 2 LPS colonies, and multiple softies/gorgonians/sponges. The back section of the tank sports an InTank LLC filter floss holder on one side. The other side has a sea cucumber that eats detritus, Second section of my AIO has multiple NPS gorgonians/Sponges/Tunicates which I use sorta as a "biofilter" the tunicates/sponges act as a natural protein skimmer.

@Gray Levison, I also use Aquaforest Probiotic system and also use KZ Sponge Power and execute weekly water changes on the tank.

Yesterday something died and caused an Ammonia Spike overnight, I don't think the Black Feather will make it he suffered the most and has dropped nearly all his arms... Wish me luck

@Bongo Shrimp He split into multiple pieces, each piece having part of the central disk with it... Surprisingly the pieces can still eat... I will keep you updated I think i'm gonna be the first person to have a feather star reproduce via fission

So an Egg Case came out of my newest Feather Star... Thing is I don't know if these are Crinoid eggs are just eggs the Crinoid couldn't digest.

Well since the Black star "split", 3/4 parts that "split" has fallen apart and one is coming back, starting to regrow feeding disk and growing new arms.

Smallest Feather Star went missing, Doubt he died as I haven't had any nutrient spikes or seen any limbs around the tank. I stopped with Tropic Marin foods started with Brightwell Aquatics again.
I saw a beautiful red feather star today at the lfs. I’d like to buy it so I’m researching. My 30g long has 2 clowns, 1 neon dotty back, 1 blood shrimp, 1 skunk shrimp, 1 bubble tip anemometer that lives in a cave under some rocks and never moves, 1 emerald crab a few hermit and assorted snails. The water Parameters are checked daily and very stable. I’m willing to buy blizzard -o and feed several times a day. Do you think I can keep one in my tank?

Red ones are near impossible, I tried one and it didn't eat the normal food my other ones eat... I wouldn't get the red one but try and get them to order a green or black one as those are easier to care for IME

I got this "dead" spider sponge for free a week ago it seems to be coming back.
Very impressive survival rate!
How is the 1/4 remaining one doing? Has the central disk regrown much?
